Can I use tap water to keep my vermicompost moist?

If you have water which is treated with chlorine or chloramine, these chemicals can kill the microbes.  For chlorine, allow water to offgas for 24 hours or add humic acid. Chloramine is not a gas and must be neutralized by adding organic acids.  One drop of humic acid per gallon will neutralize typical chlorine/chloramine levels but continue adding until a color change to brown is observed.
