Major source of drinking water The information in respect of the household's major source of drinking water will be collected and entered against this item in codes. If an arrangement is made by corporation, municipality, panchayat or other local authorities or any private or public housing estate or agency to supply water through pipe for household uses and if the sample household is availing such facility, then code 1 will be appropriate. Drinking water carried through pipe from sources like well, tank, river etc. by the owner / occupants only for convenience of the household, however, will not be treated as tap water. Instead, such a source will get the code appropriate to the actual source from which water is carried through pipe. The other codes are self-explanatory. If the household gets drinking water from more than one source, the source which is in major use should be its source. In this connection, it may be mentioned that particularly in rural areas, the source of drinking water may be different in different seasons. In such cases, the investigator is to ascertain the household's major source of drinking water and record it considering all the seasons during the last 365 days against this item.

Whether availability of drinking water is sufficient throughout the year? For collecting this information, the investigator will have to depend on the judgement of the informant. The code is 1 for 'yes' and 2 for 'no'.

Facility of drinking water Information as to whether the household's source of drinking water is for its exclusive use or is shared with other households/community will be indicated in codes. If the source is for the exclusive use of the household, code 1 will be recorded. If the source is shared by the household with one or more households in the building, code 2 will be recorded. Similarly, code 2 will be applicable when a few households have a single well, hand pump etc. for their exclusive use. If the source is for community use, i.e., for use of households in two or more buildings in the locality, code 3 will be recorded.

Distance to the source of drinking water(code) The distance to the source of drinking water from the dwelling unit will be ascertained and recorded in codes.The source of drinking water mentioned here refers to the source recorded in item 1 of this block. If the source of drinking water is within the dwelling unit, code 1 will be recorded. When the source is outside the dwelling but within the building plot of the dwelling unit, code 2 will be recorded. In the other cases i.e., when the source is outside the premises, the distance of the source from the dwelling unit will be ascertained and appropriate distance code will be entered.

Bathroom facility? Information about the bathroom facility available to the members of the household will be indicated against item 5 in codes. If the dwelling unit does not have a bathroom in its premises, code 3 will be recorded. On the other hand, if it has a bathroom in its premises but not attached to dwelling unit, code 2 will be recorded. If the dwelling unit has one or more bathrooms attached to the dwelling unit (i.e. with direct access from its rooms veranda or corridor) code 1 will be recorded. If the bathroom is in a structure separated from the main building which also contains rooms used for living purposes, 1 will be the appropriate code. A room used as bedroom, sitting room, reading room, prayer room or dining room will be considered a room used for living purposes. An enclosed area without a roof used for bathing purposes, or any living room / kitchen used for bathing purpose is not a bathroom for that dwelling.

Distance from the bathing place: The distance of the bathing place from the dwelling unit will be ascertained and entered against this item in codes.If the household members use more than one bathing place the one used by majority of the members will be its bathing place. An enclosed area without a roof used for bathing purposes will also be considered as a bathing place and not as a bathroom.

Latrine type? The information about the type of latrine used by the household will be recorded in codes. If the household does not have any latrine facility, i.e. its members use open area as latrine, code 11 will be recorded. In a few areas, one may still comes across latrines that are serviced by scavengers. These are called service latrines. A latrine connected to underground sewerage system is called flush system latrine. A latrine connected to underground septic chambers will be considered as a septic tank latrine. A latrine connected to a pit dug in earth is called a pit latrine. If the household uses a latrine of any other type, code 99 will be recorded. The approach for deciding the public / community use, shared etc. is the same as in item 3 of this block

Number of households using the latrine(s) If the household is using shared latrine, then the number of households sharing the latrine is to be ascertained and reported in this item. In case the exact number of households sharing the latrine is not known, approximate number may be recorded after proper probing.
