Probably not, shock and chlorine products are sanitizers. You mention 'city' water which is drinkable and clean.

While there may be some residual manufacturing chemicals on the vinyl itself those would probably be significantly diluted.

However the longer the water stays exposed to the environment the more likely it will need some sanitizing product. Don't wait too long, and test regularly.

Yes, always shock your pool the first time you use it brand new or each year.

A person should shock their pool right after they fill it up for the first time. This will cut down on bacteria growth that often occurs in un-chlorinated pool water.
