I have added and updated many water_point s.
Sometimes they do not work.
But what if is just temporarily?
then someone who sees it working can switch it back to active.
Most likely nobody will see it because who searches for disabled PIO's?
And I and many other mostly use OSM offline with e.g., OsmAnd.
So if a water point is out of service for a week before someone fix it, then it might
take a month before I can find it with OsmAnd.
That is the reason that the wiki says not to use the construction to tag such
short-term closures of ways.
In the Metro stations sometimes the elevator does not work. But we should not tag it
as disused:highway=elevator.
It comes down to whether I think the water point will be working again in days,
weeks, maybe months.
And water points do get repaired. Especially in busy paid motorhome stopovers in high
season. This a photo of such a repair (this is the dump station, but I am sure they
did check all services).

Admittedly, support
for lifecycle prefixes is not great in every app, so you may find duplicates when the
thing goes back working, because the mapper didn't notice there was already a
"deactivated" item mapped.
In Spain there was a drought and water became very expensive, so some
places just
turned if off. But most likely the water_point will work when there is no
drought.
same here, in a drought most drinking fountains were turned off, and as a result,
some have been entirely deleted (including rich tags and link to a specific picture)
