I would not use the tag man_made=water_tap for these.


Why not use https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:fountain


You will note the different tags - some relate to the 'style' of the 
structure others relate to the water delivery eg mist, bottle_refill .. 
thus the tag is used for anything.

The word 'type' in the description is the probable source of this 
confusion.
