Question 9: Water supply system:
We intend to know what kind of system does the dwelling have for water supply.
The first distinction between forms of water supply is whether the dwelling has piped water supply or not.
a) If it has piped water available in the housing unit it can be:
1. From a public network
2. From a private source
Note: When a dwelling has piped water in the yard, the kitchen or the bathroom, we must consider it as having piped water available within the housing unit.
b) However, if the dwelling has water in the yard but not in any of the rooms we must consider it as having Piped water available within the building but outside the housing unit.
If it does not have piped water available in the interior of the dwelling or the building, the residents must be supplied water from one of the following methods:
a) Public drinking fountain
b) Private well or hole
c) Private well with pump
d) Public well without pump or surface water fountain
e) Other
Note: If it has various sources of water supply you must consider the one that is used the most for cooking and for hygiene purposes.
