The smell of bleach in tap water is caused by high levels of chlorine.

Small traces of chlorine in water are not harmful or odorous.

It is required by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) in order to disinfect water to kill pathogens before it is distributed to homes and offices.

Boiling tap water or chilling it in the refrigerator will remove the bleach smell from the water as the chlorine gets removed in this process.
