Hi, according to this discussion I cancel the former proposal drinkable and start a new proposal drinking_water. We can transfer drinkable= to drinking_water=. The future tagging- scheme will have only one tag to indicate the existence and quality of drinking water. In the future the tag

I'm thinking about transfering my proposal drinkable to a new proposal drinking_water. The proposed values can be the same. This means migration of drinkable=yes/no to drinking_water=yes/no. The new tagging-scheme use one tag for standalone features that can provide drinking water and to

I was using the surface tag with water as an example of something you would not do. Surface is a tag for highways that tells if the highway surface is paved, unpaved, concrete, asphalt, whatever. You would never use the tags natural=water and surface=concrete together to tag a single object. They

Don't forget the opposite! One occasionally sees a water tap of some sort, which is explicitly *not*potable *not* drinkable. The International Plumbing Code (IPC) section 608.8 covers marking of non-potable sources. Curiously the requirement is in English. Have a read:

There are several smartphone apps that build in drinking water capability: I helped develop one of them. drinking_water=yes on a facility means that drinking water is available at that location, and implies potable. It's meant for the common cases such as where a toilet has a standard drinking

I think the term drinkable might be more attractive because it is so closely related to the term drinking_water — it's a logical extension of the top level amenity tag: amenity=drinking_water (drinkability=yes assumed) to different water sources such as fountains, springs and water wells.

Ah, the wheel has turned full circle. We had this same discussion a couple of years ago. IMHO potable is the right answer, but amazingly, although everyone who joined the discussion knew what it meant, they all thought it shouldn't be used in case someone didn't know. Best wishes, Andrew On
