I don't know if this is a language issue or some peculiarity of labelling in your country, but most of us understand that "drinking water" is *not* toxic, radioactive, contaminated with sewage, or petrol but is, in fact, *water that is safe for drinking. *That's what "drinking water" means (in my country and language). It doesn't matter if it comes out of a tap or a drinking fountain, "drinking water" is water that is intended for drinking and is safe to consume. If it's not safe to consume, or is not water, then it isn't "drinking water." Note that "potable" doesn't mean drinking water, it means any liquid that can be (reasonably) safely ingested, such as orange juice or beer. Note that vending machines selling water (bottled or as a measured flow), no matter how similar their name may be to "drinking point" or whatever, are best tagged as amenity=vending_machine and vending=water. However, a specific one is known to dispense water that does not meet legal requirements or dispense water for uses other than drinking, then it is appropriate to add drinking_water=no. All IMHO, of course. -- Paul
