If for some reason bleach has to be added, for instance if the container or the water was dubious, the chlorine will evaporate in 24 hours. I used to fill gallon glass jars with tap water, put a clean kitchen towel on to keep dust and bugs out, and in 24 hours the horrible bleach taste was gone. I usually had several jars lined up every day.

Also be careful about using old milk jugs. Never had much luck with them for drinking water. The milk smell (and rotten milk smell) stays in them for a while.
LJ is right, the bleach will react away within a few days. Don't need much, but you should do some for the same reason cities use sodium hypo-chlorate (bleach) for water treatment.

Bleach can evaporate from a closed container with no air in it?
