We sanitize annually but never use tank water for ice, drinking or cooking. We always take drinking water along until we can hook up to a water system we trust.
Chlorinated city water should stay fresh enough for general purpose use for quite a while but I could not say what the bacteria level would be. In hot weather it might obviously go bad earlier.
I'd be a bit worried about keeping well water fresh too long. A little chlorine can always be added to kill bacteria.
