Has anyone else noticed a very sharp increase in the amount of chlorine in Brooklyn municipal water lately?

We live in Clinton Hill and in the last week or so the chlorine in our drinking and showering water has been off the charts – completely undrinkable, and really drying out our skin and hair.

It doesn’t go away after letting the water run, a Brita pitcher doesn’t get rid of chlorine (not even the odor), and we have been forced to leave open pitchers of water out for it to evaporate.

Needless to say, it’s becoming quite frustrating.

I plan to call 311 about it, but wanted to see if anyone else is having the same issue?

Thanks!
