What happens when I make bread (wild yeast) starter with chlorinated water?

I'm using organic, unwashed grapes, bread flour and tap water. Will this work or should I just start over?

I use tap water for my wild yeast and it is just fine (actually delicious). I would say that you don't have a problem as long as you're able to drink the tap water happily.
