A "non-potable water" introduces two problems:
1) a mapper may not know if the water is potable or not; there may be no

is useful;
2) I don't like creating too many top-level tags. I could live with it,
however, as long as we don't have a better defined tagging system. But the
previous item is still an issue.

So what's your suggestion for a water source of unknown potability?

Where something is 'unknown' one assumes its quality/specification to
maintain safety. Thus a water source of unknown potability should be
tagged as "nonpotable_water" as this maintains safety.
