In a brewery the difference is important as fire water is not drinkable (it is, but it's usually not to the quality of tap water) and so it must not come into contact with the grain

I must beg to differ, IIVQ. The fire water that came out of this place was emminantly drinkable! :-P

I don't really see how the water would be any different, wouldn't it have come from the same supply?

Same supply yes, filtered and purified ? No. Further, a fire hose can have water sitting in it for months... years... tastes like poo!

Earlier this year we had a sprinkler head pop and the water smelled oily. Someone actually thought we had a fire from the smell and the alarm that went off.

the reason it's not drinkable is that the first bit is from a pipe where water hasn't streamed in 10 years, so there's rust, dissolved sealants and possibly legionella in the pipes. It comes from the same source, but it's still water and thus not suitable for drinking

Yup, I was thinking "it's just like a tap", but with a tap there's water flowing regularly so it doesn't have a chance to become polluted.
