I’d guess the filtration membranes won’t stop the bacteria and any chlorine/shock treatment chems they use wouldn’t be concentrated enough to kill it.

Do you boil ALL water, even for showers, pets and dish washing? If you splashed some ‘raw’ water on your skin on the way to the stove, wouldn’t you be infected? OMG, this is really getting scary!

Some studies I’ve read indicate cell exposure to 130deg F heat at for 1 hr kills 30% of the virons; a 2nd treatment for another hr reduces it by 50%; no virons were detected after 5 hrs of 130deg F heat treatment.

So washing utensils and dishes might be a 5 hr process for certainty at pure hot water temperatures.

Prewashing in hot soapy water probably reduces the concentrations considerably.
