I was just at a trolley stop that's also an Amtrak train station. I noticed a medium sized container that had two water spigots. one was marked "Potable" and the other marked "Non-Potable."
Really now, why not just use "Drinkable" and "Non-Drinkable"? What if someone without a strong grasp of English was having some sort of emergency and needed to drink some water?

Now days...
There's no difference between the two unless it's bottled...and even then they discovered high levels of arsenic and old lace in certain brands of bottled water...

.... well if there was another dispenser nearby that contained strong antibiotics then this question would be rendered moot.
