Water Tank - best category?

[zxrayz]

I have found a water tank that is categorized as Drinking Water, which of course shows this as water (like a pond) on the map. The only way to fix it is to delete and recreate it. But what is the best category? There is a category "Tank", but what will the category really be when it is saved? (so many of the categories can names and meanings)

"Tank" has the connotation water tank.  I see this use a lot in South Asia, rarely in the US where just about everyone would think of a military armored vehicle.

I think "Establishment / Point of Interest" will be the best available category to mark all water tanks.

@GIS, I don't understand your reasoning.  Establishment/POI is very generic, while Tank is specific.

Why not just have a water tank category i just had someone label a water tank as Reservoir .

the categories need to be revisited so that things like rubbish dump, water tanks, abattoir's ect

this will make it a bit easier to map

The feature request raised is very helpful in future. But till then we can add it under "Utility" with additional category as "Water Tank". This would serve better .
