I remain sceptical, however, and wonder if a shower bath of chlorinated
water does affect the plants. Some of you must water with untreated
water and it would be interesting to know if you observe similar
results.

This does not qualify as a controlled experiment, but at one time growers
in the Mesilla Valley used three different water sources: the Rio Grande,
private wells, and city water.
We irrigate by flooding rather than sprinkling, but the concensus was that
all else being equal [it rarely is!] city water came in a poor third.
