    I have a client in Africa who is chlorinating his incoming water supply
    until residual chlorine is present, then storing in covered tanks at ambient
    temperatures (25-30(C) until the water is required for washing raw fish and
    glazing the end product.

    His inspectors insist that they require free chlorine at all times. Do you
    know of any precedent for this, as the bug counts show the water to be
    effectively microbiologically safe, and the tanks are kept clean and
    securely covered.
