[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Water tap

[John F. Eldredge]

If OSM has the water source tagged as potable, but the actual water source has a sign saying the water isn't potable, I wouldn't drink it. If OSM has the water source tagged as non-potable, but the actual water source has a sign saying the water is potable, I would drink it only in an emergency.
