The city will take routine samples all the time - tell them you want your house tested as one of their stops. When the guy is there, have him run a chlorine check on your tank after it has been sitting for however long you normally let it sit. that will give you an idea.

as long as the city is using chlorine vs chloramine, which does not gas-off like chlorine.
