[Omitted, question 6 is repeated]
The question refers to the household's drinking water, regardless of its quality.
[p. 25]
Record one, and only one, answer, even if the respondents declare that "they do not have drinking water.".
The hydraulic installation (pipes and tap) must be permanent and connected to a water supply network.
A public water supply network is inspected and controlled by a department of public services.
Any other (non-public) water supply network should be classified as private.
The drinking water supply is considered to be inside the dwelling when the tap is in an interior space (e.g., in the kitchen, in another room, in a corridor, etc.) of the dwelling, not in communal space or open space in the building or in the courtyard or inside another housing unit in the building.
If the tap is outside the dwelling but inside the building (i.e., in communal space, in the courtyard, or on the building site), select response 3 or 4.
Select response 5 if the tap is on the pavement, in a public square, or otherwise away from the building.
Response 5 includes any other means of supplying water, such as.:
a) Well or spring, regardless of whether the household owns it;
b) River, rivulet or lake, without a network;
c) Cistern, collecting rainfall;
d) Cask, regardless of the original water source, etc.
