Anyway, with those two words, we do something around Tokyo that you do not around Nagoya to avoid possible confusions. We purposefully "mis-read" 「市立」 as 「いちりつ」 in conversations where we foresee a possible confusion. (And I just found out that you can get 「市立」 by typing 「いちりつ」, too.)

I think we often read 「私立」 as 'わたくしりつ' in daily conversations (only in Kansai area?).
I often hear 'いちりつ', but I also think we often say like 'きょうとしりつ（京都市立）' or 'おおさかしりつ（大阪市立）' adding the name of the city before '市立' (again only in Kansai area?).
