As far as I know, any chlorine is too much. Good news is that if its chlorine and not chloramine, it should boil out. If you aren't getting plastic/bandaid flavors, its safe to assume this is the case. If you are, Campden tablets are probably the easiest and cheapest way to treat water with chlorine and chloramine.

+1 to this; a single crushed tablet will treat up to 20 gallons.

Drinking water filters work too but take forever if you don't have a faucet connection.
Chlorine will go away if you leave the water sitting in an uncovered vessel overnight. You can speed it up by mixing a half tab of campden in.
