How to fix my peace lily?

I just brought my large peace lily home from my in-laws house. It has 5 flowers, and all are bright white except one. I noticed yesterday(day after bringing it home) that it had some brown around the edges. Today the whole flower is brown and wilting! i did water it yesterday and just found out today that it could be the chlorine in my city water. Is there any way to fix it? Will it turn white again or die? Will the other blossoms be affected?

How to fix my peace lily?
the flowers will die off. That's no problem. I have one in my office that has been watered with city water for 10 years and its still going strong.
Reply:I have a peace lily. I only water it once a week. Brown edges on a green leaf means that you are over watering it! If you are concerned about cholrine, flouride, etc. buy a jug of distilled water, don't buy a jug of drinking water because this is tap water which may have stuff in it. My peace lily is about four by four feet (huge) and he gets 3-4 glasses of water on Friday night. Also, they prefer shade, not direct sunlight.
Reply:Just keep it in plenty of water!! Peace Lillies are one plant you will not over water.
