<p><svar a="all" v="UY75A046">3. System of supply of water of the dwelling<br /><div class="i1">[] By pipes within the dwelling</div><br /><div class="i2">124. Look at the figure [below the text is a picture of a sink]: It illustrates the minimum that can exist to consider that there is water within the dwelling: at least a faucet in it. The installation for water should be working, it should flow water into the dwelling.<br /><br />126. A dwelling can have water inside it, without the origin being from the public system. The water can come from an underground well or from a tank to a tank and from there, through pipes, arrive at a faucet inside the dwelling.</div><br /><br /><div class="i1">[] By pipes outside the dwelling</div><br /><div class="i2">In boxes 2, 3 and 4 the cases in which there is no water within the dwelling are registered [below the text is a picture of a house and an outside well]. The water can come from pipes from land, as the figure illustrates.<br /><br />128. In other cases, the faucet where the water is from is supplied to the occupants of the dwelling is not in their land: neighbor's house, public faucet, etc. If this faucet is within 100 meters, you will mark box 3. If it is 100 meters away or more, you will mark box 4.</div><br /><br /><span class="pg">[p. 40]</span><br /><br /><div class="i1">[] Without supply by pipes</div><br /><div class="i2">129. In this box 5 the cases in which the water used in the dwelling is not obtained by pipes are registered.<br /><br />130. If in the dwelling they inform you that they only have a faucet in the garden, you will register this situation as:<br />[Below the text are two charts, one of them with the box "Fewer than 100 meters in the garden" marked.]<br /><br />131. If they inform you that they must bring the water from a public faucet, on foot from an O.S.E. tank from the place, you should ask at what distance is this faucet.<br /><br />132. In some zones, water is provided by a water carrier. Register the system of supply of water.<br /><br />[Below the text are two charts, one with the box "Without water by pipes" marked]</div><br /></svar>
