I am considering use water that uses chlorinated tablets. We are concerned about chemicals absorbed into the plants as well as other microbacterial presence in the water . Would the it be safe to eat?

If you're talking about the water they sprinkle on waste, then absolutely no, don't use it. It undoubtedly contains chemicals that you don't want in your garden.
If you're talking about the water that is the end product of the treatment plant, then sure you can use it.
If the waste water treatment system is operated by the government (city, county or state) then the water is safe for nearly any purpose. They have regulations they must follow for producing safe water and they are generally very strict.
I wouldn't hesitate to use it on a garden. If you're still worried about using it, go to the treatment plant and let them show you what they do (you'll be impressed).

My oh my, are not some people somewhat testy in this subject. i ought to be sure why you ought to shelter water - afterall some places are in a drought. astonishing the reaction of others when you consider that in all probability an excellent style of those people could use different harsh chemical compounds on their plant life including computer virus sprays and weed killer. when you consider that plant life do take in each and every thing, it may in all probability be suited to no longer pour on your plant life that produce nutrition.

What type of waste water are you referring to? I have seen people use dishwater and even from the washing machine to water plants and vegetables. If it was from human waste, I don't think I would use it.
