No, and yes.
If you want to sanitize every last inch of your entire water system, you would need to run some through through your "city water" inlet like other folks have described. (Though you don't necessarily need a fancy pump- priming the hose with bleach and using a water faucet to push it in works)
...and depending on your plumbing- this might likely be a totally separate job from sanitizing the tank.
Then again, you were talking about sanitizing the tank for it's first use in YEARS vs. the external supply which is no doubt used regularly.
I think most folks (me included) do not sanitize hoses nor the external water hook up...(though I won't make the bold claims that some do that it's stupid to sanitize those things).
