does city water which has chlorine (seems high) affect various crops in my garden?

As I understand it, the chlorine will outgas in 24 hrs. We mainly water
from barrels, preferring to let the water stand to outgas first. We collect
rainwater and only fall back on the *city water* once we run out. Seems
like the garden prefers rainwater, IMO.
