Chlorine is used to disinfect water, both for drinking and other uses, because it is toxic to the bacteria and other microscopic creatures that live in it. (Of course, it is also toxic to humans, but the amount used to treat water is usually not harmful, although some experts recommend leaving water out to "breathe" for a few minutes before drinking it to allow any excess chlorine gas to escape.)
