Interviewer instructions
This question is trying to establish the main source of toilet facility, the household uses. They might be using several toilet facilities but you have to record the main one. If a household do not have a toilet facility but used the bush like in the case of rural households, do not put bush as a facility. Bush is not a toilet facility. Therefore enter the code for 'none' for bush.
