The key fountain=* is used to map the type of fountains amenity=fountain and drinking water fountains amenity=drinking_water and similar water features. With the currently documented values it is especially useful if many instances of the same type of fountain are deployed.
Common generic types
| Picture | Tag | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
fountain=bubbler | This is a generic drinking fountain type for fountains which slightly jet the emitted water in the air for the purpose of easy drinking. It may be difficult to fill a bottle in some cases. You can use this tag for all fountains which work according to this principle, but if a more specific (sub)type is available you can use this.
Used with amenity=drinking_water |
|
fountain=drinking | Tag indicates a generic type of drinking fountain. If your fountain can be described with a more specific tag (e.g. fountain=bubbler), you are encouraged to use the more specific type. note: some people (fewer instances) use fountain=drinking_fountain with the same meaning. To reduce tag fragmentation you are encouraged to use the documented variant.. Picture: drinking fountain at the Bolsena lake in Italy. |
|
fountain=decorative | Tag used for decorative fountains which are not used for drinking water or not anymore |
|
fountain=splash_pad | Tag indicates a splash pad or spray pool. See also: playground=splash_pad
Picture: splash pad on the Detroit Riverwalk. |
|
fountain=nozzle | Tag indicates a nozzle where water comes out. Usually this means at high velocity. Wikipedia has some information. Used in combination with amenity=fountain. |
|
fountain=bottle_refill | Tag indicates a generic drinking fountain type which jets the emitted water downwards at lower pressure than a fountain=nozzle, intended to fill reusable drinking bottles. It may be difficult to obtain water directly in hands or mouth in some cases, due to features such as a large bottle sensor to activate the flow, or a recessed water nozzle. These seem to be increasingly common at transport, leisure and health facilities in GB. Should always have bottle=yes. If it is part of the same installation as a fountain you can drink directly from, use fountain=bubbler and bottle=yes in preference to creating multiple points. |
|
fountain=stone_block | Tag indicates a generic fountain type for fountains that consist mostly of a stone block.
Picture: stone block drinking fountain near the Basilica Saint Paul outside the Walls, in Rome, IT. |
| fountain=mist |
