[Tagging] RFC - A broad look at fountains

[Peter Neale]

No, it would not "turn them into taps", but it WOULD mean that a tap is present as part of the structure of the device.  "amenity=drinking_water; tap=yes".  The water is potable and you have to operate a tap to make it flow (so you may be OK to get a drink, but your dog might struggle and need assistance)  
A tap is a device to control the flow of whatever liquid (or gas, I suppose) is coming out.  Potable water, non-potable water; lemonade; petrol (gasoline), Oxygen, whatever.......

 I have the impression that slow running water points in Europe rapidly are fitted with a push button fot a limited amount of water or a limited tap time. Would that turn them into water taps?
