Drink it all the time with no problem. Think of it a a big canteen
and treat it accordingly (which you seem to be doing). Unless you get some
water from the "boondocks" there is sufficient chlorine and such added to
ensure no buggies can grow for some time.

However, I am still leary of drinking the water directly from the tank
because I don't trust that it doesn't have some debilitating bacteria
growing in the system. I just use the water just for coffee and for the
dishes.
