You are right that the chlorine that is put into the water will detoriate over time and especially with temperature, the house tanks that are supposed to be used are only meant to be day tanks, based on the water usage of an average household. It is not recommended to have a huge tank that can store a weeks supply.
One note on that issue is that water demand in the country is around 145 MIGD and the supply is only available to the majority of households for about 16 hours a day, therefore if you are regularly out of water which I am, then the refresh rate for your tank is high, so you shouldn't have a problem, but as you say each house will have to asess.
I have obviously tested my household water and it's absolutely fine, better than WHO standards, however we still filter for suspended solids.
Gulf laboroties can test your water, however it's not cheap and it's only a snapshot, I was only trying to indicate that it is safe to drink.
