As the another mapper who was mentioned
I am not entirely sure is it drinking fountain, but what I know:
- it is intended to directly provide drinking water to people in city center
- it is possible to drink directly from it (but that may be unfeasible for
example for someone older and with reduced mobility)
- it is easy to fill bottle etc from it
- what about example at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:fountain%3Ddrinking
- mapped at https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/10052493601
It seems that entire drinking water scheme is a horrific mess
and filled with confusing terms, many of them misinterpreted
by mappers, what makes it even more confusing :)
