Some people know what that means; others don't. (via Give Me a Sign)

They shouldn't use drinking fountains for non-potable water.

This is at a rest stop on US 66 (I-40) in Santa Rosa, NM 88435

I bet the water doesn't meet health standards, so they posted a disclaimer rather than fix the problem.

I was thinking the same thing as Anonymous.  It could be natural spring or artesian well water, which can be drunk without ill effects by many people, but it hasn't been chlorinated, purified, filtered, or fluoridated – so for legal purposed (and to give whoever set up these drinking fountains plausible deniability in case someone DID have some ill effects from this water) they set up the 'non-potable' sign.

Any lawyer worth his salt would still win the case if someone got sick from drinking from these.

Those are drinking fountains. They don't have another purpose.
