From what I read online, the best strategy for tap water storage was frequent replacement. It wasn't as reliable long term as the sealed plastic bottles.
But I think it would be hard to stick to a schedule of replacing frequently.
I suppose extra chlorine would help but don't go overboard and make it undrinkable. Or just filtering it if/when you ever needed it.
100 gallons sounds like a lot. Maybe keep 15 gallons of plastic bottles on hand and then switch to the tap water if that ran out.
