Is it safe to drink the water after bleach has been added?

Water that has bleach added to it can be left out in the open for 24 hours to help dissipate the chlorine smell and taste. Our tap water has chlorine added to it, and during bad weather times you can really tell when the water company has kicked up the bleach additions.   Edey

Joyous--it is safe as long as the bleach is added in proper amounts, and the bleach helps keep yucky stuff from growing in it. 

• i rinse those 2 liter soda bottles, then fill most of the way, put the cap on loosely, and put them in the deep freezer.  there's always a few in there, and they get rotated out to chill drinks in coolers in the summer.  also, keeping the freezer filled with ice is more efficient than cooling empty space.  and another thing- that comes to mind, considering the power outages around here- they will help keep the food frozen!

Is there any good reason to store water in glass instead of plastic? I ask because I have many, many glass containers, and few plastic jugs, if any.
