[talk-au] Water tanks as buildings?

[Phil Wyatt]

…and rather ironically, Emergency Water Tank does not have the building tag

 

content=water

emergency=water_tank

man_made=storage_tank                       

 

Cheers - Phil

Hi Folks,

 

That’s the standard tagging for a water tank in ID editor. The project was a SSSI project in Australia. They had access to high res imagery for the project.

 

building=yes

content=water

man_made=storage_tank

 

There will be 1,000’s of them across the globe I suspect

Just working on notes & one of them took me here:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/-35.73637/137.59784

 

Started wondering what the little "reservoirs" were along the beach?, then noticed that the same mapper who did them, has also tagged all the rain-water tanks around the houses as man_made=storage_tank, but also as building=yes.

 

All done a year ago as part of the HOT Fire project, & they apparently haven't mapped since.

 

Backyard water tanks definitely aren't buildings, so is there any easy way of fixing this, without just deleting the buildings one by one?

 

Thanks

 

Graeme
