Yes, it's true and there's also a bit of arsenic in it. As to the levels, you should check with your local waterworks. They can tell you what the accepted levels in your municipality are. It varies by county / state.
The chlorine is added to kill off bacteria such as ecoli and the fluoride is actually good for your teeth. I'm not sure why the arsenic is in there and there have been some reported problems, but I cannot give you the details as to which are healthy levels and how much the body can absorb without problems. I'd ask someone at a larger research University about studies on the various added chemicals.
By the way, bottled water is no better than tap. There's absolutely no federal regulation that says that "spring water" has to have a certain degree of purity. So if you think you're safer drinking bottled water, think again.

Chlorine is used to kill potentially harmful bacteria (animal urine/ feces)
Fluoride is used to prevent bacteria from growing and infesting in your mouth (hence less/ no cavities)
Today's society would be a very sick place without these traces of elements in our drinking water

Yes its true that tap water contains lot of chemicals.
We shd be careful abt contaminated water and try to avoid it. We shd secure our health by using water purification devices.
