[] 1 rural or communal aqueduct (ASADAS or CAAR)
[] 2 municipal aqueduct
[] 3 A and A aqueduct
[] 4 business or cooperative aqueduct
[] 5 well

If the dwelling has two ore more sources of water supply, note the one mainly used.

Rural or communal aqueduct (ASADAS or CAAR): the water service comes from a public network administered by a committee of rural aqueducts and drainage systems (CAAR) or administrative associations of water systems (ASADA).

In addition, the rural aqueducts can be administrated by the development associations and others.

Municipal aqueduct: the water service comes from a public network administered by the municipality in which the dwelling is located.

Aqueduct of the A and A: the water service comes from a public network administered by the Costa Rican Institute of Aqueducts and Drainage Systems.

Aqueduct of a business or cooperative: the water service comes from a public network administered by a business or public service, for example, the Heredia Company of Public Services (ESPH).

Well: this can be private or communal; from the well subterraneous water is extracted through the use of an electric or manual pump, or using a bucket or container, attached to the extremity of a cord.

River or gorge: the water comes from a river or gorge and is carried to the dwelling by hauling or via some type of plumbing.

[p. 116]

Other source (rain, cistern tank, hydrant): when the majority of the water used in the dwelling is rain water, or has been collected in plastic barrels from the gutters, or is received by cistern trucks, hydrants, etc.
