Thank you all for your knowledgeable, thoughtful, and timely replies to my chlorine question. I'm using rain water for my tea but am still dealing with yard and garden watering concerns. Even after using relatively fine mist sprinklers, total chlorine is still present at five feet from the sprinkler head.
 
I've stored tap water in 60 gallon open containers and am able to reduce the chlorine significantly but like Doctor Ingham said, it takes hours of aeration to get rid of it completely (I still haven't determined just how many hours, but will).
 
Next try is a filtering system...
 
I'm always open to suggestions...
