Dear All,
I have made the following changes to the wiki page - which I think makes it clearer that amenity=fountain && drinking_water=yes is an acceptable tag pair for fountains of historic or cultural significance which serve potable water. Feel free to amend or reverse them if you feel they are inconsistent. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dfountain Best regards, Stuart ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ OLD SENTENCE The water of those fountains is often not suitable for drinking. OLD SENTENCE The water of fountains tagged as amenity=fountain is often not drinkable – especially the large ornamental ones. OLD SENTENCE If providing drinking water is not the primary use of a fountain but the water is drinkable nonetheless use drinking_water <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:drinking_water>=yes (see the tag page for more detailed tagging). OLD SENTENCE Please tag a drinking fountain which does not meet the tag criteria, such as a modern metal fountain in a train station as amenity=drinking_water. <br><br>If the fountain provides drinking water and meets the requisites for being tagged as a fountain, add an additional tag drinking_water <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:drinking_water>=yes (see the tag page for more detailed tagging). Also : I have added pictures of three fountains meeting the above criteria which dispense drinking water. 1) Paris,France 2) Trento, Italy, 3) Lorigo, Portugal On Tue, 4 Feb 2020 at 14:15, European Water Project < europeanwaterproj...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thank you Martin, > > I will make some limited changes, which I believe are consistent with the > recent discussions, to make it clearer that a fountain - which deserves > that name - can also have a utilitarian function of delivering drinking > water.
