I didn't follow every bits of the discussion, so sorry for interrupting. Sorry also if my proposals are out of scope or already reviewed. Maybe a fresh view can help.
@Marc amenity=drinking_water // amenity=non_drinking_water It feels like a good start and compromise. Either can be associated with a more physical feature that represents an outlet of a water network. A few tagging examples... any point with drinking water: amenity=drinking_water + [opt] man_made=* a well: man_made=water_well + [opt] amenity=drinking_water/non_drinking_water a tap: man_made=water_tap + [opt] amenity=drinking_water/non_drinking_water a water point: man_made=water_tap or man_made=water_point or man_made=water_supply or ... + [opt] amenity=drinking_water/non_drinking_water * currently exists amenity=water_point ... I find it a bad tag, this one I would consider to maybe deprecate and link as a equivalent amenity=water_point <=> amenity=drinking_water + man_made=[to_be_chosen] and it should not implies drinking_water=yes. a fountain for cultural / decorational / recreational purposes [often not suitable for drinking]: amenity=fountain (man_made=fountain is maybe more logical... and here 2x amenity can clash) * if it is drinking water, a workaround would be two features, ideally a node amenity=drinking_water within an area (however small) amenity=fountain. Some fountains are also detailed with an area of natural=water. toilets with drinking water amenity=toilets and amenity=drinking_water as two features (2 nodes or area+node) drinking fountain amenity=drinking_water + [opt] man_made=* (man_made=fountain if there is a need?) Either way, the slightly conflicting tag are amenity=[non_]drinking_water and drinking_water=yes/no. They should be linked and treated together in algorithms. I think amenity=drinking_water is a valuable tag because it is useful to people. It makes sense to use it alone. drinking_water=yes alone on a node makes less sense IMO. water_point and water_tap should not assume _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
