Hi Warin,
amenity=fountain is the tag for the object itself and is a descriptive
tag of the object itself independent of whether the water is potable
or not. It should be used for fountains of historic, artistic or
cultural importance.
The request is for a fountain of utilitarian purpose, not historic,
artistic or cultural.
I use amenity=fountain for fountains that are not for drinking, but for
decoration.
drinking_water = yes describes the drinkable quality of the water.
Best regards,
Stuart

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.
