No.

A tap cannot be easily drunk from ... you need a cup/hand to divert the water to your mouth.

A drinking fountain has a jet of water that can be intercepted by your mouth - no cup required.

A tap can easily be used to fill a container.

A drinking fountain cannot easily be used to fill a container.

See the OSMwiki for physical structures?

Wells don't usually act as drains - that would contaminate the water with surface waste.
