What's that? Cannot be "unclassified" since motorcars aren't allowed, cannot be service since it doesn't "leading to something". Some people tag it this way, some that way.

It seems to me that highway=path (possibly with bicycle/foot=designated) would be the most suitable classification here.

If waterworks' cars are they only ones legally allowed to use it then this road is not part of the general road network for cars so unclassified would not be appropriate.

On tbe other hand if it's frequently used by pedestrians and cyclists then service doesn't seem right either.
