Yes, as long as you use a de-chlorinator, this can safely be done. Make sure the de-chlorinator destroys both chlorine and chloramines- many only remove one of the two. If you can find a de-chlorinator that also destroys ammonia, than that is an added bonus as it will come in handy when dealing with ammonia spikes when cycling an aquarium.

What type of water should be used in preparing a new aquarium?
To determine the type of water to use in your aquarium first decide which fish and livestock you want to keep. Most people start with a freshwater aquarium housing community fish. The water used to set up this type of aquarium is usually drawn from a sink in your home which is normally either municipal or well water. Municipal water typically contains chlorine or chloramines that must be removed or neutralized before fish can be added. Water conditioners are available from pet and aquarium stores. Well water should work straight from the sink but it may be best to take a sample of water to an aquarium store for testing. If you would like to set up a saltwater fish aquarium you can use municipal water, water drawn from a well, or filtered water such as reverse osmosis or reverse osmosis with deionization. When setting up reef aquariums with saltwater fish, invertebrates, and corals, most hobbyists use filtered water because impurities such as phosphates and nitrates which are food for nuisance algae have been removed.
