For chlorine to disinfect several conditions have to be present. 

Low turbidity, for drinking water disinfection below 1 NTU 

Contact time with chlorine free residual at the end of the time.  The contact time is also temperature and pH dependent for a particular residual.

Are you achieving these?

You may be better off with UV as is used for many effluent discharges

I think that you will find that the mechanisms of disinfection are the same across wastewater and drinking water. It is the required effectiveness that differs.
