Is the best way to tag this.
The summary for amenity=fountain says:
"A fountain for cultural / decorational / recreational purposes.
This might range from the usual fountain that you'll find in lots of
city centers, up to large fountains like the Trevi Fountain in Rome that
can act as a landmark and is also a tourism
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:tourism>=attraction
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:tourism%3Dattraction>.
The water of those fountains is often not suitable for drinking. "
I don't think amenity=fountain is suitable at all for drinking fountains.

amenity=drinking_water is used for;
streams that people drink from
wells that people drink from
taps that people drink from
blubbers that people drink from
fountains that people drink from
As such it is very non descriptive! More of a property key like
drinking_water=yes.
Some alternatives?
man_made=drinking _fountain. Not popular for some, warning I made it.
