Interviewer instructions
<svar a="all" v="MX95A036"><span class="em">1.8 Water in a pipe</span><br /><br />The purpose of this question is to find out the availability of water in a pipe provided from a public system, whether or not it is from the government, the community or from an account from a private company.<br /><br /><span class="pg">[p. 69]</span><br /><br />Supply network of water is an instillation of pipes that is planned and built for supplying water to dwellings, buildings and schools, among others. It can be administered by the entity, municipality, community or a private company. It is not necessarily an underground instillation at the base of pipes; it can be above land, the type of material not being important.<br /><br />This question has four answer options, with the first three dwellings having the service and with the last, those that do not have it, the options are the following:<br /><br />[graphic of the question from the census form]<br /><br /><span class="ital">Within the dwelling?</span><br /><br />It is considered that water from a pipe comes from inside the dwelling, if it has at least a faucet in the inside of one of its rooms. This criterion is expressed only and exclusively when the informant has doubts.<br /><br /><span class="ital">Away from the dwelling, but within the plot of land?</span><br /><br />When the faucet only is in the piece of land, in the garage or in the patio, a dwelling has water in a pipe away from it, but within the plot of land.<br /><br />If the water comes from a private well and has an instillation of pipes planned and built to supply water to the interior of the dwelling or the plot of land, consider that the occupants do have water in a pipe, whether it is inside the dwelling or outside of it, but inside the plot of land.<br /><br /><span class="ital">From a public faucet or hydrant?</span><br /><br />The occupants have water from a public faucet or hydrant when they get it from an irrigation channel of public use.<br /><br /><span class="ital">Does not have water in a pipe?</span><br /><br />In the cases in which a dwelling has an instillation of pipes for water supply, but it has never worked, consider that it does not have water from a pipe. Also, <span class="pg">[p. 70]</span> when the water is obtained from the house of a neighbor, register that the occupants of the dwelling do not have water in a pipe.<br /></svar>
