dragonfly larvae affected by chemicals?

I have a small (10 gallon) wildlife pond and the dragonflies visit it frequently. When I was cleaning it out this morning I noticed a number of dead dragonfly nymphs. There were still some live ones in there though. To clean tje pond, I usually just empty out most of the water and refill it with the garden hose. Could the chemicals in my city's water be killing off the dragonfly larvae? Do I need to use a chlorine remover just like I would if fish were in the pond?
