Yeah it's basically illegal to intentionally dump anything, even drinking water, into a storm drain or river.
When water distribution operators need to flush out pipes or hydrants, the water must pass through a dechlorinating device because dumping any chlorine residual intentionally would be illegal. However, you as a private citizen using chlorinated water on your lawn that runs into a storm drain isn't illegal.
