Interviewer instructions

It is to be ascertained whether any treatment of water is done before drinking. Some involve the precipitation of soluble impurities and others, the separating out of insoluble impurities through various kinds of “filters” including cloth screens. Bacteria in the water are killed by boiling the water or by ultraviolet rays in the “Aquaguard”-type water treatment appliances. All these cases are to be considered as “treatment” of water. If any such treatment of water is done before drinking then code 1 is to be recorded. Otherwise, code 2 will be recorded.
