In this article they're claiming it was caustic soda they tried to up the dose on though. That stuff doesn't have a particularly strong odor like chlorine and chlorites.
You'll taste it immediately sure and only a dumbass would swallow it, but depending on how high they can push the limits, it could still be a pretty rough day for anyone who burns the inside of their mouth, or the poor bastards who step in the shower and spray that stuff directly onto their face and eyes with no safe running water to wash it off with.
On the plus side, the pipes would get a nice clean though.
You say that but people kept drinking the water in Flint, even after saying it came out brown or foul smelling.
Flint's main problem was lead. You don't taste that.
The smell of chlorine is 1 to 1 related to dosage.
This is my business, internet 'acktually' guy.
