backyard faucet (UK: tap)
The ST appears to refer to a low-cost rural water supply system for a local community. In such systems water often feeds a single faucet (UK: tap), installed in the backyard of each dwelling, often with a floor drain underneath to carry excess water away and avoid the acumulation of mud caused by over-flowing buckets and dripping faucets.

Spanish term (edited):
puestos de patio (de luces)
air shafts
The only thing that makes sense to me here is "patio de luces", which is an "air shaft" used for ventilation. I think "puestos" would be redundant in English, and "air shafts" alone would do it.
