__NOTOC__

A public standpost or tapstand distributes water from one or more taps to many users. Because it is used by many people it is often not looked after, and the design and construction must be sturdier than used in similar domestic connections. A standpost includes a service connection to the supplying water pipeline, a supporting column or wall made of wood, brick, dry stone masonry, concrete, etc, and one or more 0.5 inch (1.25 cm) taps that protrude far enough from the column or wall to make it easy to fill the water containers. The taps can be a globe or a self-closing type.
