Box 7.- Water supply to bathroom

It is understood that a dwelling has bath services when it is provided from a place or room where a bath is found to be installed. The place can be within or outside the Dwelling. If it is outside it is considered that the Dwelling has a bath, only if it is found to be a distance not greater that 100 meters; if the distance is greater than 100 meters the Dwelling does not have bath services.

The service can be:

Piped: when the bath is supplied water by means of a pipe connected to a public or private system, which brings the water to the Dwelling, or when the water is taken in a pipe or other apparatus that is found to be not greater than 100 meters from the Dwelling and that is connected to a public or private system. [p. 29] Mark the corresponding box according to whether it is:

Only for this Dwelling: when the bath is used by the right only of the occupants of the Dwelling that you are enumerating.

For this and other Dwellings: when the bath is used by the occupants of the Dwelling whose information you are requesting and also by the right of occupants of other Dwellings.

By other means: when there is no place or premises where an installed bath is found, it is always located a distance greater than 100 meters of the Dwelling. In these cases, the water is supplied from a river, well, ditch, or public or private system (piped) that is found more than 100 meters from the Dwelling.

When you use the space "other means" you should specify for example: river, well, ditch piped, etc. according to where the source of water for the bath is supplied from.

Does not have: It is considered that a dwelling does not have bath services when it is not provided a room or premises meant for this purpose, or that is its occupants bathe in places like rivers, gulleys, etc. Also it is considered that a Dwelling does not have bath services if its occupants must cover a distance larger than 100 meters to arrive at a place in which a bath is installed.

In the case that the family being enumerated uses, as a given favor, the bath of a neighboring house, school etc., you should consider also that the Dwelling does not have a bath. Keep in mind that this is not the case of Dwellings, generally with the same owner, that have a single bathroom for all; when this situation presents itself it should be considered that each Dwelling has a bath, since its occupants make use of it because they have the right to it.
