Interviewer instructions

Question H-26-- Piped water

"In which way does this household obtain PIPED WATER for domestic use?"

Please write only one answer.

First ask whether the household has piped water or not. If not, write 1. If they have access to piped water, read out the other categories for the respondent to choose from. Notice that this question includes water piped locally e.g. from a nearby stream or a private borehole. In other words, it focuses on convenience.

The question is asking about water used for household needs, not water used for gardens or cattle.
