Yes, Graeme, in California (USA) we have exactly these (such as my golf course example). While there is no "purple means don't drink" color-coding here, there seems to be a state law (or something just as firm) that if a publicly-accessible "water tap" dispenses water which is NOT safe to drink (and again, these are no particular color), there MUST be a sign that says "non-potable" or "do not drink" or "using reclaimed water" or has the "international red circle-with-a-slash-means no and a picture of a human drinking water" icon...or ALL of the above. We do seem to be getting closer to harmony here, but there are still a few sharps and flats among the notes we're all humming. Good. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
