Interviewer instructions
This question seeks to determine the main source of water for households. It is through questions of this nature where it would be indicated whether the majority of households receive water inside their dwellings, on their sites or at communal areas. It should be noted that if the people obtain water from two sources, they should name the source that they use for drinking and cooking. The neighbour's tap in Option 5 should be someone/a household that is very close to the respondent's dwelling unit(s)/ structure(s).
The instruction to the enumerators is that, when Options 1 to 4 are selected, they must skip to Question 5.14.
