Interviewer instructions
Treat" means the treatment done by the household not by the public water system such as the council. It is well known that water from the public system is treated but the household does further treatment to ensure the safety of the water. If the household purchases safe drinking water from shops such as spring water, then the answer to be recorded is '4' 'Does not treat'.
