Is it true that chlorine gas has been injected more into Quanzhou’s tap water?

Recently, there are reports on the Internet and in individual communities that "during extraordinary times, the injection of chlorine into tap water has been increased within the allowable range. When using water, especially for boiling water and cooking water, people must fill the water tank Take it out and let it sit for at least two hours before using it. It will be healthier this way."----This is purely a rumor. Please don't believe it, let alone spread it.

Currently, our water plants use sodium hypochlorite solution for disinfection, instead of adding chlorine gas as reported on the Internet. The national "Hygienic Standards for Drinking Water" stipulates that the standard for residual chlorine in water from tap water plants is 0.3-4.0mg/L. After years of scientific operation analysis and historical data demonstration, our water plants have controlled free chlorine in factory water to around 0.8 mg/L, which meets the national standards for drinking water. During the epidemic prevention and control period, we have strengthened water quality monitoring. The residual chlorine value of the factory water from each water plant is stable and the water quality is good. There is no situation where increasing the dosage of disinfectant in the water plant will increase the residual chlorine in the factory water. Citizens, please feel free to use water.
