Re: [talk-au] OpenStreetMap Wiki page Australian Tagging Guidelines has been changed by 2hu4u
Hi Glad to see you on the list, I tried to CC you on the list message in case you weren't subscribed but didn't know your email. I'm not sure if it's used by the network tag https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:network I think could be used to say which network it's part of and hence distinguish the Sydney supply from other ones disconnected from this network. In addition to the operator tag (though in theory you could still have Sydney Water operating some isolated systems). After doing some more digging looks like there is some discussion on https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:man_made%3Dreservoir_covered where it seems they are mostly used the same way. I had assumed reservoir_covered was for large (wider than high) in ground reservoirs, with a lining of some kind, that are covered, with storage_tank would not be sitting in the ground but rather on the ground and usually not that wide compared to high, but maybe this is not really backed up by how the tags are defined and used. More photos of the various kinds would help.

Hello, 2hu4u here (this is my first message on the mailing list). Regarding water towers, not sure if there is local/state variation, but large public tanks connected to the mains utility (commonly with capacities of 1-25 megalitres) are referred to by Sydney Water as "covered reservoirs". This is a grey area I guess; I thought perhaps it would be useful to distinguish the slight nuance between designated reservoirs and "man_made=storage_tank + content=water" of the kind that collects or stores water on a smaller scale and is disconnected from the greater water network. I will be posting photos of example tanks on the wiki soon. Looking forward to working with you all.

I agree with youk Graeme. I also saw that change on the tagging guidelines and was going to raise it so glad you did. There are still such things as covered reservoirs but these are more where you've got a larger area that is a reservoir that was covered over. The typical water towers, unless significantly elevated would just be man_made=storage_tank + content=water as you said.

Re water tanks / towers, I've just added the following comment to the talk page: " Usual default for ground level water tanks is simply man_made=storage_tank + content=water (iD default "water tank"). For emergency water tanks eg at RFS stations or reserved for their use also add emergency=water_tank. For elevated water tanks, use man_made=water_tower + height=xxx (if known)." If there's no disagreement, I'll also change the Guidelines themselves?
