Pipe lines currently exist for non drinking water in various part of the
world. And have done for some time. They are becoming more numerous as
efforts to save water and reduce environmental impacts increase.
Unfortunately this does not have a tag for non drinking water ..
possible values could be
non-potable_water
grey_water
Not recycled water as that is too restrictive .. it could be from a
river/lake that is not suitable for drinking. Or even rain water that
has not been checked for drinkablity.
I note that"if the medium of a pipeline you are tagging is not listed
here, please choose a meaningful value at your own discretion."However
that will lead to multiple values all meaning the same thing or be too
restrictive.
Should this be a 'RFC' as in a request for comment?
According to taginfo the values in decreasing use are water (30%), gas,
heat, sewrage, oil, hot water (20%), electricity (should be 'cable'
according to the wiki), sewage (3%), oxygen, coal, lng, fuel.
I note This tag has a status "unspecified' .. that probaly means it has
not been voted on here.
