Since you haven't provided us with your proposed instructions/procedures I don't know what you are planning, but with data like this you should not simply upload. You should break it into manageable chunks, review against existing data, including buildings, and make adjustments as necessary, and only then upload to the OSM server.</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Overall, any attributes did not stand in isolation rather it is an establishment of the entire distribution network, tagging which taps are part of the municipality and which ones in isolation (i.e. taps are of 2 categories, ones that tap from tanks systems (groundwater) and ones that tap from the municipal pipes (surface-water) --All reviews are being done by the validation team to ensure that it is all coordinated (importance of the photo), however, this does not represent duplication to the distribution network that is being captured.</div></div></blockquote><div>If there is no reasonable way to get water out of a tank directly, especially if you have mapped the associated tap separately, then the tank should not be tagged as amenity=water_point. According to the wiki[1] amenity=water_point is '<span style="color:rgb(32,33,34);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px">for places where you can get larger amounts of "drinking water"....'</span> The tank can be tagged as man_made=water_tower or man_made=storage_tank + content=water. This will depict the "distribution network", but will tag each component of that network as to its actual form and function. Along these same lines, wells should be tagged as man_made=water_well along with associated tags. The wiki[2] has an example of a well that looks very much like many of those in your data (second example). </div><div><br></div><div>Mike</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dwater_point">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dwater_point</a></div><div>[2] <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dwater_well">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dwater_well</a></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
