<span class="h2">6.5 Data of Private Occupied Dwellings </span>
<br />(Only for the first household or single household)</p>
<ul class="b1">
<li>If it deals with a private unoccupied household, this module doesn't apply and the system returns to the list of addresses.</li>

<li>If it deals with a collective occupied dwelling, the system displays below the questions regarding the people that habitually reside in the household.</li>

<li>If it deals with a private dwelling and it is detected that it is occupied, the system displays the questions that will be presented below.</li>
</ul><span class="h1">8. How does the water arrive at the dwelling? </span></p>

<p>The objective of this question is to verify that there exists piping that carries the water within the dwelling and in addition, there is at least one faucet within the dwelling that works, independent of whether or not that piping in the dwelling is fastened to the walls.</p>

<p>The options of the response are:</p>
<ul class="b1">
<li>Via piping within the dwelling</li>

<li>Via piping outside the dwelling</li>
</ul><ul class="b2">
<li>Less than 100 m away</li>

<li>More than 100 m away</li>
</ul><ul class="b1">
<li>By other means: this includes water delivery, water trucks, etc.</li>
</ul><p>For example, a public OSE faucet is recorded as "via piping outside the dwelling" and depending on the distance, "less than 100 m away" or "more than 100 m away" is recorded.</p>

<p>Which is the main means of electrical lighting of this dwelling? </p>

<p>The intent of this question is to find out the means of electrical lighting that the dwellings have. Mark the principal means used. In the case that there exists more than one, record the one that is used the majority of the time.</p>
<ul class="b1">
<li>UTE or general network: This generally refers to the UTE but it can be the case that the electrical energy that is used by the dwelling is generated and distributed by a private company, for example the dwellings that are found in rural zones and located close to production establishments.</li>
</ul><span class="pg">[p. 75]</span><ul class="b1">
<li>Battery powered wind charger: The batteries that are used, at least, for the lighting of the dwelling, are charged by an electric generator moved by a wind-driven turbine.</li>

<li>Battery powered solar charger: The batteries that are used, at least, for the lighting of the dwelling, are charged by a solar panel that converts the solar energy to electric energy.</li>

<li>Personal power generator: This is a internal combustion motor that moves an electric generator.</li>

<li>Other electric source: Select this option in the case that the dwelling has a means of electrical lighting not included in the previous options.</li>

<li>Does not have: Select this option if the dwelling does not have electrical lighting.</li>
</ul>
