<pre wrap="">= water_tap. I have no firm idea on either choice. If I have too now I'd
chose man_made=water_tap. Fits with man_made=water_well .. though not with
amenity=shower and I'm certain tehre are other examples.
+1 to man_made namespace, no need to deprecate amenity=drinking_water (80K+
uses, a lot of data consumers)

<pre wrap="">be confused with some other meaning. And be secondary to the facility ..

<pre wrap="">
not sure if "purity" is a good choice. Completely "pure" water is not
potable (distilled water), you'd die if you drank too much (OK, you'll also
die when drinking too much "normal" water [1], but the second "too much" is
much more than the first).

<pre wrap="">water_potable = yes/no
If not known you don't tag. Then it will some default action possibly based on location. Some may want tags 'boil', 'filter','filter+boil' ...
I know a place with a distilled water tap. It also has a deionised water tap. Not open to the public. And I'm not mapping it.
