Today I worked a UR in Austin where the problem is in the Water Layer that the editors can not edit. Take a look here: https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=usa&lon=-97.68259&lat=30.48564&layers=1957&zoom=6
Then open that location in the Live Map and see that the water retention pond is in the wrong place.
While this doesn’t affect routing, it clearly confused the user that owns the URs at that location.
I couldn’t find a discussion of this in the open/general forums. Anyone have a suggestion?
Waze updates that layer but not sure how or when or from what 3rd party source they get that info.

I use these for guidance as well, especially when on the ambulance and looking for guidance on getting down these poor roads Glad to know they will be updated.
I asked a similar question about Lake Pflugerville a year ago.
tl;dr: half the lake used to show in the app, then it changed to the other half, then it went away
We tabled it during the NA infrastructure improvements & landmark freeze, but the lake still isn’t in the app.
You will soon be able to edit water features yourself. It’s possible on the INTL server now and will migrate to the US server ‘soon’.
We still having an issue with the water layer. The below link has water next to a street covering homes. Has there been any resolution to this yet.

Not until they migrate the editable water layer feature to the US server from the INTL server. I’ve not seen a timeframe for that yet.
I recommend following the forum thread on “Bodies of water are now places!”: https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=128235
