You may have a water control panel somewhere. Our previous motorhome had 1 water inlet connection for all water needs: city water use, to fill the tank, to sanitize the system and winterize the system. There were 5 levers that could be opened or closed depending on what we wanted to do.
Using the fresh water tank was called Normal, 2 levers had to be open while the other 3 were closed. There was another called City Water Fill which was another combination of levers opened and closed, this would fill the fresh water tank. There was also one called City Water Use which was also 2 levers open and 3 closed. This is how we set up the control panel when at a campground with water hookups.
Some folks don't like to use campground water hookups. They will fill their fresh water tank with the campground water and then run off that. Fill and empty as needed. We do like to travel with a full or almost full fresh water tank. I like to go prepared and having water at our disposal is nice. The added weight of 40 gallons of fresh water isn't much of concern for me.
