32. Water supply system (item 10)
The water supply system will be recorded for all the dwellings, regardless of the source and location. Item 10 indicates if there is a public system or a fountain.
The housing unit is considered as having a water supply from the public network whether or not it has piped water installation from a local community-wide system (of an enterprise or institution, etc.). Also, if the water is supplied to the housing unit from the street drinking fountain throughout a piped system it is considered as water supply from the public network.
The housing units having their own supply system will be considered as receiving water through a piped system from a natural source: pit, fountain, spring, etc.
