It was bad. After that, I have been updating OSM with all the water sources I run across. Drinking water in parks, bottle refill stations at stores, water fountains that I run across. It's not much, but it's honest work.

Documenting public water sources is an incredible public good. I thank you for your efforts.

Thanks so much! I used it multiple times when traveling far away (and also contributed back what I spotted missing).
