every once and a while, my city turns up the chlorine as part of some annual flush or cleaning or whatever.
anyway, the water coming out of my pipes is the exact same temperature as it always was, but for some reason it seems warm when I taste it. it doesn’t matter how long I let it run, it’s just the same on my tongue. I’m filtering it, I can’t even taste the chlorine, but it just feels tepid at all times
Probably the taste of dissolved gasses differs. Normally that is the main difference in taste between water of different temperatures thus we take it as a taste proxy for temperature.
Ya shouldn’t drink the water when they flush the system like that
yeah I’m sure they’re just poisoning my drinking water for 5 weeks at a time every year

Yes, it’s practically a low-concentrated poison and the only reason they do that is because the side-effects are outweighted by benefits from clearing the water with it. You wouldn’t die from drinking it right away, but if you can, don’t.
the poison is in the dose. everybody knows what chlorine is

Yes they are. Don’t assume your government cares about you because they say so.
