In cases when no drinking water can be obtained, see drinking_water=no. Also for some cases one should consider using a popular lifecycle prefix such as disused:*=*, abandoned:*=* or construction:*=*, or in some cases a lifecycle tag such as disused=*, abandoned=* or construction=*, see Comparison of life cycle concepts. |
Use pump:status on pumps (pump=*) to indicate whether a pump is working or not. In the case of a water pump, this means that the pump supplies water when it is used (or it does not for various reasons).
Common values
pump:status=ok: The pump can be operated and water flows after a certain time.- Suggestion for hand pumps: Pump at most 20 to 30 times. However, especially during dry seasons or after a longer period of non-use, there may be wells that only carry water after more frequent pumping attempts.
- Note: During colder seasons, pumps might be deactivated. A function test should only be made during warmer seasons.
pump:status=broken: Even after longer pumping, no water flows or the pump is permanently inoperable for other reasons that are not further specified. Consider using anabandoned:man_made=water_welltag in this case.pump:status=out_of_order: The pump has been taken out of service (e.g. by an authority/the administration or the operator). Consider using anabandoned:man_made=water_welltag in this case.pump:status=missing_beam: The hand lever for pumping is missing (if its a hand pump); the pump can therefore not be operated. Consider using anabandoned:man_made=water_welltag in this case.pump:status=locked: The pump is locked, e.g. with a chain/a padlock. Consider using anlocked=yestag in this case.pump:status=blocked: It is not possible to use the pump because the access is blocked. Consider using anaccess=*tag in this case.
