Nah. Drinking tank water is just fine I tells ya!    ;)

Maybe it's the water up here in Vancouver BC, but I have yet to have
any issues with a dirty *looking* water tank. I have cleaned it at
least a few times. That said, if I'm low on drinking water, tank water
is boiled for coffee or tea. Otherwise, it's for dishes and brushing
teeth.

Neil.
