Interviewer instructions
5.28 Question 3.10: Type of toilet facilities

If the household has available more than one kind of toilet facility, indicate the more modern type. In this context, water closets are considered to be more modern than pit latrines. Indicate the kind of facility available to the household, and whether or not it is shared with another household(s).

Pit: Score this if the toilet facility is a pit latrine.

WC linked to sewer: Mark this if the toilet facility is a flush toilet or water closet, which fills from a piped water supply and empties into a sewerage disposal system (commonly referred to as a sewer main).

WC not linked to sewer: Mark this if the toilet facility is a flush toilet or water closet, which fills from a piped water supply and empties into a septic tank or an absorption pit (soak away). This pit is not to be confused with the pit latrine.

None: Score this if the respondent indicates that the household has no toilet facilities.

Not stated: This position is to be scored if satisfactory information cannot be gathered.
