Some work for the OpenStreetMap community in 2024… 😀🚰
“Free drinking water soon available in Belgium’s 100 largest train stations”: https://www.brusselstimes.com/belgium/810782/free-drinking-water-soon-available-in-belgiums-100-largest-train-stations-tbtb
So, how would you tag this ?
amenity=drinking_water
fountain=bottle_refill
access=yes
wheelchair=yes
fee=no
operator=NMBS/SNCB
#OpenStreetMap #Belgium #water #SNCB #NMBS

@mannivu @Doudouosm @openstreetmap eh, maybe? Maybe discuss this on the issue tracker…
I have some more time. The tag literally reads “amenity=drinking_water”, meaning that one can get drinking water for personal use here. It does not imply the physical form of this, e.g. if it is a bubbler fountain or a water tap. In either case, the tagging for the wide variety of items isn’t very consistent…
@pietervdvn I see your point and I have to agree with your analysis. But, I think that adding a man_made=water_tap could be useful to differentiate it from a natural spring (even if we have a dedicated tag for those).
Yes, I looked into this as well, but there are apperently quite a few, contradictory ways to do this…
