"purity" is a judgement call.
Generally those don't go well in OSM.
How about tags for signage, e.g. "It's marked as potable", "it's marked as
untested", "it's marked as non-potable".

I suggest the tag for taps go ahead for voting. But remove all the
purity/potable things .. just vote on the tap. I don't see any problem
there.
The sub tag for potable can then be raised as a separate wiki entry ..
and discussion on 'portable' continued. Such as when the tap carries no
marking; I'd think this will be country sepcific .. some countries will
have unmarked taps as potable, other countries as non-potable, and
others as 'unknown'. Note that this sub tag can be applied to things
other than taps... springs, fountains ...
