The general tag for a source of drinkable water is
amenity=drinking_water. But in some cases you will want to subtag an
existing OSM-object (like an amenity=fountain) with the info that the
water is drinkable.
Apparently our free tagging schema has led to 2 alternative keys for this:
drinkable=yes/no can be found here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dfountain
drinking_water=yes/no is defined here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:drinking_water
The first is around 5 times more in use than the second. How shall we
proceed in order to unify the two?
In German forum was a discussion about it some weeks ago:
http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=17149
Result:
drinking_water is used as a official information with controlled quality
etc. ( I think, it is to "German") and shouldn't be used also as "I
drunk it and are still alive".
But I think it's a useful feature to have the second information also in
the data. Because local mapper should know better, if it could be
drunken without a risk or if there is chemical industries some km above.
