1.6 Lavatory or sanitary services
The objective of the first question is to know if in a dwelling an instillation exists for the eviction of human wastes.
This installation is known by different names (lavatory, sanitary system, toilet, WC, etc) mention it according to how it is known in the region or locality where you carry out the interview.
It is considered that a dwelling does not have a lavatory when it does not have any instillation for the eviction of human wastes, so its inhabitants do their duties outside (yard, patio, field, garden, etc) or use the lavatory of another dwelling.
