Interviewer instructions
<span class="h3">H3, H4 Source of water supply for drinking and/or cooking, for laundry and/or bathing</span></p>
<p>The information on main source of drinking water provides the number of households with ready access to a potable water supply, as well as the availability of piped water for each housing unit. The provision of a piped water installation for every housing unit should be one of the primary objectives of housing policy as well as of public health policy.</p>
<p>Determine from the respondent the household's main source of water for drinking and/or cooking
<br />(H3) and for laundry and/or bathing (H4). Enter the appropriate code in the box provided. If there are two or more sources of water for drinking, report the source used most of the time during the past twelve months.</p>
<p>The different sources of drinking water and their codes are as follows:</p>
<p>[] 01 Own use, faucet, community water system - The household gets its water supply from a faucet inside the house/yard directly connected to a water pipeline from the community water system such as the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) or the local water network system.</p>
<p>The method on how they purify the water or the real source of water is irrelevant. Thus, for water systems which have deep well as their source of water, report under this category as long as they subscribe to community water system.</p>
<p>[] 02 Shared, faucet, community water system - The household gets its water supply from the faucet of another household, establishment, or office, which is connected to the community water system.</p>
<p>[] 03 Own use, tubed/piped deep well - Water is taken from a tubed/piped well which is at least 100 feet (5 ximkm{(on(:8(neet pipes or 30 meters deep) and for private use of the household or households in the same building or compound.</p>
<p>[] 04 Shared, tubed/piped deep well - Water is taken from a deep well, which is at least 100 ft. or 30 meters deep of another household, establishment, or office or from a deep well which was constructed for public use.</p>
<p>[] 05 Tubed/piped shallow well - Water is taken from a tubed/piped well which is less than 100 feet deep.</p>
<p>[] 06 Dug Well - The household gets its water supply from a well, which may be provided with a protective device against contamination or pollution. A shallow well (dug and with water depository) which is provided with a pump and cover and is free from seepage from the side, and an ordinary dug well (<span class="lang">"balon") </span>also belong to this type.</p>
<p>[] 07 Spring, lake, river, rain, etc. - The household gets its water supply from natural bodies of water, or water is accumulated from rainfall.</p>
<p>[] 08 Peddler - Included in this item are water bought in tanks, drums, pails, etc. (peddler). These are the usual sources of water supply of households in low water pressure areas with no community water system.</p>
<p>[] 09 Bottled Water - Mineral/distilled water bought in bottles, or gallons are under this category.</p>
<p>[] 10 Others, Specify - Includes other sources not mentioned in categories 1 to 9 above.
