We simply have to document what *we* mean by it. We should probably attach 'amenity=drinking_water' to standpipes that are potable water sources. 'emergency=dry_standpipe' or 'emergency=fire_hydrant fire_hydrant:type=wet_standpipe' could be used to document standpipes for firefighting. (Dry standpipes would need both the inlets and outlets marked; I'll leave it to someone else to work out the details, since I don't have any I plan to map.) Standpipe water towers (like the ones in Chicago, Louisville, or Mannheim) are, of course, man_made=water_tower. I don't foresee mapping standpipe piezometers, or standpipes on toilets, washing machines or oil derricks.
