If you are going to ro/di the water, it probably won't make any difference which water you use as the source. As it is, the city water may come from wells that are in the same aquifer as your private...

I'd say a cycle is one of the few things you get for free in this hobby. Bacteria multiply so fast anyway, their reproduction is only limited by the "food" supply. The lenght of your cycle won't be...
