non-potable water
A tap symbol crossed by a diagonal slash, indicating water that is unsafe or unsuitable to drink
Meaning
A tap symbol crossed by a diagonal slash, indicating water that is unsafe or unsuitable to drink. It commonly appears on signage near taps, tanks, or outlets where the water is untreated or reserved for other uses. In conversation it can convey that something is undrinkable, off-limits, or not fit for consumption, sometimes humorously. It is occasionally used more loosely for anything discouraged or prohibited. Context matters: it may signal a genuine health warning or a casual joke, so the intent is not always clear from the symbol alone.
