Ok, So I have two pools in my fort. A drinking pool, designated as a water and fishing source, and a refuse pool downstream, designated as a garbage dump. These are both supplied from a source of running water. The water doesn't say it is contaminated and there is no reason for it to be, unless contamination goes upstream, but my dwarves are ignoring it and going to a spot far downstream to drink. Why?

Have you set "Zone Drinking Only" in the options?

I hadnt, but I now have and a month or so later they are still going to the same spot...

Odd. With Zone-drinking only, I believe they aren't supposed to drink outside the zone in creeks. Check that area to see if you don't have it accidentally set as a water source. You might have stumbled on a bug, checking...

Sounds like it is.

The problem might be with it considered stagnant. Post the save file, let us examine the behavior.
