Short answer is probably. I would use dechlor if it were my crabs.

Long answer is they chlorinate it when transporting it from the spring to the bottling facility, and then use carbon to remove the chlorine. Carbon is not fool proof, and it doesn't work perfectly. There may still be traces in the water.
