Water and Sanitation tags

currently in Kiberaother applicable/existing tagsnotes
watsan:bathroom=yes
amenity=toilets
This is an actual bath ... these are often offered as public services in Kibera, often with a toilet as well. amenity=toilet is not entirely correct

Sometimes shower=yes is used. This could work here, but it might not hurt to do something more official?

watsan:dumping_site=yes
amenity=waste_disposal
This is an waste disposal site, without proper formal structure.
watsan:pee_point=yes
amenity=toilets
This is not a formal toilet, but a place very commonly used for peeing.

Seems informal=yes might make sense for a lot of things in Kibera.

watsan:recycling=yes
amenity=recycling
watsan:toilet_private=yes
amenity=toilets
access=private
watsan:toilet_public=yes
amenity=toilets
access=yes
watsan:biocentre=yes
amenity=toilets
http://www.umande.org/bio_centers.html has more info on biocentres. decomposes waste to create cooking gas.
watsan:urban_agriculture=yes
leisure=garden
yes
watsan:water_private=yes
amenity=drinking_water
access=private
watsan:water_public=yes
amenity=drinking_water
access=yes
Around half of the features with this tag also include operator:type=private. it means the water is publicly accessible, but for sale by a private operator

Changes

  • Add amenity tags:
    • amenity=toilets to features with
      • watsan:bathroom=yes
      • watsan:pee_point=yes
      • watsan:toilet_private=yes
      • watsan:toilet_public=yes
    • amenity=waste_disposal to features with
      • watsan:dumping_site=yes
  • Add operator:type=private to features with no operator:type=* tagged
    • watsan:toilet_private
    • watsan:water_private
  • Add man_made=windmill where appropriate
  • Remove watsan:toilet_public=no from features tagged watsan:toilet_private=yes and vice versa.
  • Remove watsan features from ways
  • Split features with multiple watsan:*=yes tags
    • Except features with watsan:toilet_.*=yes and watsan:bathroom=yes
  • Names
    • Fixed obvious typos
    • Removed generic water names:
      • "Dumping site"
      • "Private toilets"
      • "Public toilets"
      • "Water point" (did not set watsan:description)
      • "Water tank" (set watsan:description="water tank")
      • "Water tap" (set watsan:description="water tap")

Notes

Is there a difference between a "water point", "water tank", and "water tap"? If so, should we tag these differently? Right now the only consistent difference seems to be in name.

-- A water tank is a reservoir, usually a large above ground container; and a water tap is a spigot connected to a line. Water point, could be either.

A few nodes with watsan:other=yes mention being start/end points of terraces. Not sure what to do with these, if anything.
