<div class="gmail_quote">This model is used for many other tags in OSM. One of the most fundamental tags, access=*, uses it to show "access only for customers" for example. See <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:access%3Dcustomers">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:access%3Dcustomers</a> . free_water=customers would not look out of place at all in that list.</div>

<div>The other dimension that has been mentioned, is "bring your own container" vs. "we supply the container". Something like "container=customer", "container=supplier" or "container=both" perhaps?</div>
