Well I'm pretty sure that drinking water treated with chloramine is far preferable to drinking untreated water, so even if it is toxic, it's not toxic enough at current levels to merit concern.

It's still worth investigating, because it's good to have confirmation.

Might help to filter out the chemicals before drinking.

You can't really "filter" out these chemicals when they're fully dissolved in the water.

There's always distillation, but that's not practical at all on the scale of drinking water for cities.

I had thought activated charcoal could remove the chemicals. No I don't mean city scale. I meant after the water comes out of the tap but before you drink it. City water has to be treated to not harbor too many germs.
