[Tagging] How to tag an utilitarian fountain?

[European Water Project]

Thank you Martin,

I will make some limited changes, which I believe are consistent with the
recent discussions, to make it clearer that a fountain - which deserves
that name - can also have a utilitarian function of delivering drinking
water.  I will also add a couple more photos of historic fountains which
serve potable water.

After making these changes, I will send out a summary note to this list
just to be on the safe side.

Best regards,

Stuart
