So you speak for all the schools based on the experience of students in one school?

It is not abnormal for tap water to smell like chlorine since it is often treated with chemicals, that doesn't mean it's unsafe to drink. Plus, the school has no control over that. You can get a free water testing kit at home depot and test it if you're that concerned.

If a pipe is broken or something, of course they're going to turn off the water. What are they supposed to do, not fix these problems right away?
