manhole=sewer is used to indicate a manhole cover giving maintenance access to pipelines carrying wastewater (sewage).

This tag indicates the type or use of a man_made=manhole.

See also utility=sewerage.

How to map

Place a node node at the position of the manhole and tag it with man_made=manhole + manhole=sewer.

It may be useful to document the shape of the cover with shape=*, and additionally the dimensions with width=*, length=* or diameter=*.

material=* and colour=* can also be used. If the cover is not made of a single material, but instead in the same way as the surrounding surface, the values from the surface=* tag can be used with the material=* key (e.g. material=paving_stones). The additional details that follow that tagging scheme can also be used (e.g. paving_stones:pattern=*), however colour=* should be used instead of surface:colour=* (see above).
