Check the utility separately for current advisories or service notices, since an annual summary does not describe conditions at every tap today.

EPA describes chlorine and chloramine as drinking water disinfectants. Check your supplier’s annual report for the disinfectant used, reported residual measurements and the period those measurements cover. Chlorine, chloramine and disinfection byproducts are different entries, so compare the same measure and units. Ask the utility about current treatment changes rather than inferring them from nearby environmental records.
