depends on whether its contaminated or not, there are UK standards and the world health org standards which set the legal limits on what should be in our drinking water and what shouldn't be in the water. i think it also depends on your water source and how hard your water is.

The usual level is anywhere from 0.2 to 1 mg per liter.

W.H.O. guidelines set forth a conservative maximum allowable level of 5 mg/liter, though you can readily taste the chlorine at well below that amount.
