Someone said to make sure the chlorine should come right up to tap of faucet . that cyst of brain eating amoeba are resistant to chlorine whst does right up to tap mean?

Run water to be certain the chlorine is from water main. Ask city if your Cl- is high enough to kill cysts. Ask local public health experts if they are Cl- resistant in your area. You can also go to CDC and see where the infections are occurring over the last few years. Very rare problem.
