I use a filter on the hose to fill in the fresh water tank, just like the one I use on the park water connection.
I agree there are some camping site where I would not connect to their water, so I don't.
Regular city water has enough chlorine to keep killing any residual bacteria every time you empty and refill your fresh water tank.
what I absolutely do, is empty all the tanks after every trip. and rise my black tank as well.

Residential water
might have enough residual chlorine... it depends. The chlorine level can wildly fluctuate in municipal water supplies. After it leaves the tap, chlorine dissipates rapidly. The only way to know for sure is a simple free chlorine test... which I've never done, because we don't drink unfiltered water from the tank.
But I agree with just dumping everything after each trip. Even if the chlorine is low in ours, the hot water heater kills any cooties in our dish water.
