The summary for amenity=fountain says:

"A fountain for cultural / decorational / recreational purposes.

This might range from the usual fountain that you'll find in lots of 
city centers, up to large fountains like the Trevi Fountain in Rome that 
can act as a landmark and is also a tourism 
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:tourism>=attraction 
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:tourism%3Dattraction>.

The water of those fountains is often not suitable for drinking. "


I don't think amenity=fountain is suitable at all for drinking fountains.
