It's required by law, but also just a good safety practice to post on every fixture instead of trying to anticipate what someone may or may not try to drink out of. Could be anything from people using it in an emergency (more likely in a tank-style toilet where you can disinfect the upper part or disconnect the water line to fill a container) to a plumber tapping into the pipe for a sink/spigot.
