Are what's presently tagged "elsan_point" *both* walk up toilets *and* CDP
chemical holding tank emptying points?
And do they welcome waste originating from Elsan-based motorhomes as well
as canal boats?


In tagging form does this represent a typical station?

 amenity=toilets
 network=C&RT
 access=key
 toilets:disposal={flush/chemical/pitlatrine}
    +
 waterway=sanitary_dump_station
 sanitary_dump_station:basin=yes
 network=C&RT
 access=key

Also note that based on feedback from a German tagger, the "cassette" tag
name changed to "basin".



Marine pumpouts of course are separate:

 waterway=sanitary_dump_station
 payment:crt_prepaid:yes
 payment:cash=no
 sanitary_dump_station:pump-out=yes
 sanitary_dump_station:rinse_water=yes
 seamark:small_craft_facility:category = water;pump-out
 note=Self service prohibited, see Marina attendant


Note that *"porta-potty" *is also a trade name, which has also become a
generic like Hoover, Xerox and Crescent Wrench.  In the USA it refers only
to the walk up toilets.
