We full-timed and traveled constantly and got our water at various places. In 16 years we never sanitized our tank and we drank and cooked from it.

During the 16 years and being in groups of full-timers around the campfire, I've never heard of anyone getting sick from their water. I've never read of anyone getting sick either. Public facilities where folks are getting their water wouldn't have bad water for people to get sick. It would be all over the news. We volunteered in public parks and know that their water was continually tested. They just wouldn't take the risk otherwise.
I will say that we used a good filter for the water going into the tank and we also had another filter at the kitchen faucet.
I would advise you to get a water filter. They aren't that expensive. Here's a great place to see and read all about the different kinds and give them a call. They are extremely helpful in answering your questions and advising what you might need.
