Interviewer instructions

All households are asked about the type of sanitation used in the housing unit. Write down the answers as follows:
1. Public network, if there is underground connection between the house and the Municipal or Amanat-al-Asima network.
2. Septic tank, if there is a covered hole into which dirt drains and is then emptied by special tankers.
3. Covered drain, if dirt is thrown down a covered drain to a hole or a tank emptied manually.
4. Open drain, if dirt is thrown down an open drain which differs from a septic tank and a covered drain in that it retains the dirt and lets water leak out.
5. If the type of sanitation is not one of the types specified above.
