Greetings.

There are closed and open storage tanks, and I think is important to differentiate them, specially those used by firefighters and rural communities to fight wild fires. The approved proposal for the key covered=* states "C. denote an area such as an underground parking lot, a covered reservoir/cistern or even such things as an aquarium (e.g., Kelly Tarlton's, Auckland, NZ), when the covering is not a man-made structure that would allow layer differentiation."

I would like to know what the community thinks about elaborate that line a bit more, to include emergency storage tanks so that people know it's ok to add covered=* to those structures.



Storage tanks around me are all covered, at least all the one I remember are. This includes ones used or emergency fire fighting. Uncovered ones would be very rare in my country due to the possibility of contamination by drowned animals, dirt, dust, tree leaves and tree limbs. There are probably regulations about them being covered to prevent the breading of mosquitos! So would think covered is part of being a storage tank at least here.
