This proposal is for tagging those premises who are *willing* to provide free tap water unconditionally and who at the same time are willing to advertise the said practice publicly. There are various movements that can be joined. Also, the next movement could very well be started on OpenStreetMap itself - volunteers could refer to OSM when asking the owner for consent or the owners themselves can add this information given a user friendly form. This could also result in more mapping activity in general. > There are also places that offer a drinking water tap with plastic cups or > water bottles so you can serve > yourself without asking anybody.

How will it be distinguished? > Well, my original proposal strives to differentiate this with drinking_water=yes (for taps) and drinking_water=ask (if given by staff), but you are the only one to support such a distinction up to now. Others in this thread would like to use the same tagging for both cases. Could you please give a bit reasoning regarding pro & contra of making this distinction? > Pubs and bars usually will have opening hours, while drinking_water on a > fountain is generally accessible 24/7. > This can be seen from the data (combination with what), but it might be safer > to explicitly use distinct tagging (unsure myself). > If we add drinking_water=* tags to a given premise (together with amenity=pub) on the same entity (node or area), it is expected that the opening hour is the same. This means that if the pub is only open between 18-24h, then we should expect that the drinking fountain will not be accessible at noon or at any other time when the pub is closed. If the tap resides in an open space, that means that opening_hours is not shared between the two and they should be stored as separate entities in OSM, one way for the area of the pub and its opening hour (or a node somewhere within its boundaries) and another node separately for the tap at its approximate location. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
