Water supply I think. There’s usually a pipe where water can be pulled from close by

These signs mark a water source (typically a river, stream, or pond) for the fire department.

Not just the FD - it's a public water source where anyone can draw water

Many uses for water don’t require it to be clean enough for human consumption.

Yea but you'd probably have to climb down in there to fill your jugs it's not like a hose or anything. Probably be easier to just fill your jugs at a friend's house

PS - having a well, Ive learned plenty that living without running water isn't a big deal.. want a drink, get a gallon from the store.. wash your hands... use the same gallon.. but once you cant flush the toilet, damn if you arent living in a third world country. thankfully flush water doesnt have to be safe to drink, so I always fill up a bunch of old pool shock jugs with water and put them in the basement for such a need.

I’ve filled my bathtub with snow, and used that to flush. Not sure if that’d work for summertime power outages though.

It would work in the summer, so long as it's snowing.

It still works in the summer as long as it hasn't evaporated by then!

I tap into my water heater for toilet water...no power so no shower. Might as well use the time to drain any silt from the water heater and then flush away.

These signs are near water for the Fire Department to draw from, they are all over woodsy areas where there are NO fire hydrants around.
