While our water is not flouridated it is chlorinated.
In a 1992 study that made front-page headlines, and was reported on in the July issue of the American Journal of Public Health researchers at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee found that people who regularly drink tap water containing high levels of chlorine by-products have a greater risk of developing bladder and rectal cancers than people who drink unchlorinated water. The study estimates that about 9 percent of all bladder cancer and 18 percent of all rectal cancer cases are associated with long-term consumption of these by-products. This amounts to over 20,000 new cases each year.

That's correct -- all tap water contains chlorine as part of the sterilization process. Chlorine has a lower boiling point than H20, and hence it should be left in a vessel and allowed to evaporate. Chlorine doesn't have anywhere to evaporate to while in the piping system as, obviously, it's completely enclosed.
