My marina has unfiltered water at the docks and one filtered connection at the pump-out dock. Ask around your's may be similar. I often get water (when I fuel up) at Mountain View and never had a problem. I do keep a low level of chlorine in my tank just to make sure. We use a little less than recommend to keep the taste palatable. I never knew how strong the chlorine was in city water until I move to a house with a well. Now I notice chlorine.
Upthesaukee asks if it's possible to install a water filter in line from the fill in the hull to the holding tank. Given that hose is about 2" across, I doubt that would work. But you could consider an under-sink or whole house filter on the output of the water pump or the input to the ice maker.
I'm considering getty a whole house filter and rigging it with garden hose connections to filter the water on the way in. They sell some at Home Depot for around $20.
