Water tanks are a pain to tag, especially large ones that you'd like to be represented clearly on the map.
I've done, this which gives you a visual indication of the size of the tank: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/47785839 building = storage_tank content = water man_made = storage_tank I've also done this, which gives you an invisible way and a puny little water tank symbol in the middle. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/968604177 area = yes content = water man_made= storage_tank But small residential ones probably don't deserve mapping, however if people are happy to map small garden sheds then it's not much different to map these...
