Find out the main source of water supply for household use and main source of water for drinking and shade the appropriate code.

Piped water inside the housing unit: Is usually supplied to households through pipes. The pipes are connected from the source to the individual's housing unit.

Piped water outside the housing unit within stand/plot: Is usually supplied to households through pipes. The pipes are connected from the source to the individual's stand or plot.

Communal Tap: Is usually supplied through pipes. The pipes are connected from the source to a public place for a group of people.

Protected Well: The wall of this well is usually lined with a brick wall or concrete block wall up to the ground level. The finish on top is of a reinforced concrete slab with an opening large enough to let a bucket go through. The opening is always covered.

Protected Boreholes: These are boreholes drilled to a depth not less than 30 meters. The sides are cased by iron casing pipes while the last bottom pipe is perforated. The top is concreted together with the suction pipe.

Unprotected Well: The well is not lined with a brick wall or concrete wall. The top has no concrete slab though it has a sizeable opening to let a bucket go through. The opening is usually uncovered.

Unprotected Boreholes: They are similar in design to protected boreholes except that the top as well as the suction pipe are left uncovered and large enough to let a jar or small bucket go through.

River/dam/stream: This is where a household draws water directly from a a river/dam/stream for home use.

Rain Water Tank: Usually used by individual tenants, to collect rain water from the roofs. These vary in sizes as there is no standard size. It is always advisable to have it covered after the collection.

Other Tap: Any other tap not mentioned above.

Water Kiosk: This is a public water tap run by a water utility company. The public can go to this tap in order to buy water.

Water Vendor: This includes water that is bought from individuals or companies and sold to households who do not have water. In some cases wheelbarrows and or tankers are used as the mode of transport to sell to households.
