It's clean water, let it drain.

it is fresh water so just drain it if you have to. normally,i fill my fresh water before leaving and drain when i get home.  it is fine to travel with water in the tank, so no real need to drain it.

I personally do not travel with a FW tank full, I do keep a minimal amount in it for uses on the road. In a 178 it is in the rear of TT. Just added weight, just 300 lbs. As far as draining it is potable water, no issue. My own options. Not a fan of hauling unnecessary water, or black and gray tank fills.
