<span class="h3">H11 Kind of toilet facility</span></p>

<p>The data on kind of toilet facility provide the minimum data required for the evaluation of facilities available to the housing units. Like safe drinking water source, a sanitary toilet facility is a measure to prevent diseases and improve the health condition of household members. This indicator likewise determines the sanitation status of households.</p>

<p>Cross out the circle corresponding to the type of toilet facility used by the household.</p>

<p>The different types of toilet facilities commonly used in buildings and houses throughout the country are:</p>

<p>[] 1 Water-sealed, sewer/septic tank, used exclusively by the household</p>

<p>[] 2 Water-sealed, sewer/septic tank, shared with other households</p>

<p>[] 3 Water-sealed, other depository, used exclusively by the household</p>

<p>[] 4 Water-sealed, other depository, shared with other households</p>

<p>Water sealed - as the name implies, is the type of toilet where after water is flushed or poured into the bowl, a small amount of water is left in the bowl and seals the bottom of the bowl from the pipe leading to the depository.</p>

<p>Sewer/septic tank - a tank in which the solid matter or sewage is accumulated to be disintegrated by bacteria. This is commonly called <span class="lang">"Poso Negro"</span>.</p>

<p>Other Depository - if the depository is other than a sewer/septic tank.</p>

<p>[] 5 Closed Pit - it is a type of toilet without a water-sealed bowl and the depository is constructed usually of large circular tubes made of concrete or clay covered on top and has a small opening. It may or may not have a box for sitting or squatting over the opening; e.g., <span class="lang">antipolo</span>, etc.</p>

<p>[] 6 Open pit - it is the same as closed pit but without covering.</p>

<p>[] 7 Other (pail system, etc.) - classify here a toilet wherein fecal matter is accumulated in a pail to be picked up for disposal from time to time or any kind of toilet facility not belonging to the preceding types.</p>

<p>[] 8 None - for households using no toilet facility.</p>

<p>Refer to Illustration 8.7 for the different types of toilet facilities.</p>
