Hello, To summarize the discussion so far :
All the following are acceptable ways to tag a fountain : operation_status = XXX - for fountains which are not operational on a specific sighting disused: --- when the observation or observations leads the mapper to believe there is a good chance the fountain is no longer working on a permanent basis intermittent = yes - sometime the fountain is working, sometimes it is off seasonal = <yes/summer/winter> if it is obvious which season the fountain will be operating and which season the fountain will be shut. opening_hours = month range (e.g. Apr-Oct) - to designate a specific month range when the fountain is operational. && Deleting a non-functioning fountain node, is discouraged Best regards, Stuart On Mon, 20 Jan 2020 at 17:35, Martin Koppenhoefer <dieterdre...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > sent from a phone > > > On 20.
