City water hookup / fresh water tank
When hooking up to the city water hookup(when its available at the campground) do I still need to run the water pump inside the camper?

I've never had a disaster hooking up to city water. Now when we first arrive at our campsite, I do fill the fresh water tank, but then run on city. Why? Well, we have on occasion been camping when a sudden thunderstorm popped up and power went out. The first time that happened, it was out for over 24 hours! And we had no water! Every time after that, I made sure we have water in the fresh tank. Now, at the end of the camp, I don't just dump it, or let it drain on the ground. Last morning of the camp, I'll go ahead and unhook the city water and put the hoses away. I'm not rushed this way. And then use whats left in the tank. Also, at the dump station it gives us a little to put in the black tank so it won't be completely empty. THEN, I open the valve and let it drain on the way home.
