Excessive chlorine can be very irritating to the eyes, respiratory tract, and skin (in that order of most sensitive).
Shower filters are cheap and good for the human too. If your water is heavily chlorinated (if you can smell it without putting your face down to it), then I'd say grab a shower head filter. I and my brother have used one for the past several years and we both used to have skin problems (eczema and acne) that disappeared within a month of using the shower filter.
Chlorine=bad. And no it's not used to 'purify' the water, it's used to kill living organisms. So really how good can it be.
The younger the chameleon the more sensitive they will be, same goes for montane species. An adult veiled or panther will be able to deal with it better.
