Blowing out water lines?
We camping over Easter for the First trip of the season. Went to Arrowhead County Park in Neola Iowa and had a great weekend. When we got ready to leave and not knowing when we were going to go camp...

I suspect there is actually more chance for bacterial growth in drained untreated lines (moisture and air). I do not let my water system sit unused without chlorinated water in the tank and lines. You did not specify if the water in the system is chlorinated, but if treated IMHO it wouldn't matter if the lines were drained or not.
Since you are concerned with water quality and safety as opposed to freezing, I will add that I sanitize each spring at 50ppm for several hours, and after flushing, treat the tank water with 2-4ppm chlorine for drinking the rest of the season. If not used for more than 30 days or so I will drain and refill the system with fresh treated water.
