Interviewer instructions
<span class="em">Questions 7, 8, and 9: Basic services</span></p>

<p>The electric light, the origin and supply of water and the hygienic services demonstrate the living conditions of our country.</p>

<p><span class="em">Question 8: From where does the water used in the dwelling originate? (origin of the water). </span></p>

<p>If the dwelling has more than one source for the provision of water, you should mark the one that is the most used. If they use water from 2 sources in equal proportion, mark the one that is the better quality. For example, between Essap (Ex Corposana) and a well, you should mark Essap (Ex Corposana).</p>

<p>You should ask the questions by reading slowly through the point where the question mark closes the question. Then read each of the options. When you have an answer, mark the corresponding circle and move on the next question.
