Chlorine in tap water?

[kelemvor]

I've got an off topic question for you guys. I noticed when rinsing my test container after a chlorine test yesterday that the tap water lit up the DPD pretty bright and so I decided to test the tap water for chlorine.

Found 3.5ppm fc and 0ppm cc. The county here adds chloramines to the water but say they stopped adding chlorine in 2002.

So my questions are for some of you chem guys... 1. do chloramines show up as chlorine in the dpd-fas (taylor 2006) test, and either way 2. is 3.5ppm in my drinking water something I should be worried about (i.e. calling the county and complaining).

I typically drink bottled water (especially the variety with added hops), so I'm not super worried about my health if it is a problem; but my pets drink tap water...
