OK. I’ve learnt initially at least some of them were required in some areas to have sufficient water in the sewers in all conditions, but most of them are probably just a small contribution to the amount of wasted water through old and leaking supply systems (I once read London was loosing a quarter of the fresh water through leakage, it’s a common phenomenon in many big cities) Cheers Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
