Non-potable Water

This emoji represents water that is not safe to drink. It is commonly found on public water facilities, campsites, and signage to warn of contamination or chemically treated water that cannot be consumed. It alerts users not to use the water for drinking, cooking, or brushing teeth. While designs vary by region, they typically feature a glass or water waves crossed out with a slash. It appears in environmental education and disaster preparedness materials to emphasize safety during outdoor activities. In everyday chat, it is sometimes used metaphorically to jokingly indicate something is “undrinkable” or unacceptable.
