Dissolved chlorine offgases due to time or exposure to light.  So if you 
can't let the water sit over time, you can expose it to light and it will do 
the same thing.  Most chlorination in the USA is done with either chlorine 
gas or sodium hypochlorate (like in bleach).  Actually bleach is often a 
byproduct of chlorine gas use or repackaging- they take the dregs from the 
tank car
 and dissolve it in water.
