Interviewer instructions
<span class="em">12. Piped water</span>
<br />This question identifies whether the dwelling has faucets or hoses where occupants obtain water, either inside the dwelling or only in the yard or land, regardless of the place of origin of the liquid. Read the question mentioning all options and circle the code corresponding to the respondent's answer.</p>

<p>[Figures are omitted]</p>

<p>Consider that pipped water can be identified in facilities as restrooms, sinks, showers, or simply if a faucet or hose where the occupants get water. The first option, "inside the dwelling", means that the faucets or hoses are located in an enclosed space of the dwelling, the kitchen or the bathroom, either in a sink, shower or in the water tank of the restroom' bowl. When the faucets or hoses reach only the yard or land, they are seen in an open space and are located alone or in a sink or basin. If the occupants take water from another house with a hose as shown in the image, we consider that they have piped water, either inside or outside and it depends how far reach the hoses. Also, if outside the dwelling there is a well from which the liquid is extracted and sent through pipes or hoses to other dwelling' facilities (as shown in the picture), record that the house has piped water inside the dwelling.</p>

<p>[Figures are omitted]</p>

<p>The option "there is no piped water" must be circle when there are no pipes or hoses in the dwelling, yard, or land, where water can be obtained, and consequently, the occupants have to carry it or get it in another way. If the answer corresponds for the latter situation, ask the question 14 "Not piped-in water", but if you record the option "inside the dwelling" or "only in the yard or land," please go to question 13 "Water supply".
