Hi there,
A useful alternative to mapping missing/fixing incorrect OSM data is by using the mobile app Streetcomplete [1]. It's currently only available for Android.
It allows you to add missing OSM data (data to a high level of specificity, e.g. width of roads, tactile kerbs at pedestrian crossings, etc) while you walk. To have your edits accepted you still need an openstreetmap.org website account.
I'm not affiliated with the creator, but I'm a big user of it for mapping local data.
Hope that helps.

Get an account on the openstreetmap.org website, then use the web-based map editors (I usually use iD) to correct existing entries or draw new ones. For example, I went around my neighborhood and plotted the location of every fire hydrant, and then used iD to add new Nodes for each fire hydrant at the appropriate coordinates with the attribute emergency=fire_hydrant.
However, if you do make changes, please make sure they are accurate, precise, and correct. You've already seen the problems caused by erroneous input data. Better not to enter anything than to enter something wrong.

There are lots of errors and missing data in Bulloch County, GA
What's the best way to submit corrections, please?

I just updated Lake Anna to be natural=water and water=reservoir. The ways were also all out of whack in the multipolygon but those have been remedied as well. Hopefully this fixes the issue.
