No, I didn't drive the boat into a swimming pool.

Our neighbor is draining the water from the swimming pool into our salt water canal. We are very close by and the tide and wind have moved it our way. The water is all brown and a significant amount of it is under my boat. Will the chlorine and or bromine damage my thru-hulls or bottom paint? It is illegal to dump pool water like this in our community.
 
I know chlorine loves to eat through brass. Good it was a water main break, I guess.
