Question 4.- Water supply to the dwelling

[There is a picture of question 4 from this section of the enumeration form.]

This question is made up of two parts: a. How is the water for the dwelling obtained? and b. Where does the water received come from? For each part, one and only one answer is admissible.

A.- How is the water for the dwelling obtained?

Mark box 1, by pipes inside the dwelling, if the pipes are in the interior of the dwelling and are supplied with water directly.

[There is a drawing representing this type of water supply.]

Mark box 2, by pipes outside of the dwelling but within the building, lot, or grounds, when to access the water supply one has to go out from the dwelling to another place in the building or lot, where the water faucet or tap is located.

Mark box 3, by pipes outside the building, lot, or grounds, when to access the water supply one must travel to someplace other than the building, lot, or grounds where the dwelling is located. Example: public faucet, basin, etc.

Mark box 4, water not received through pipes, but rather by other means, when the dwelling is supplied with water that is not piped. Example: provided manually and directly from a river, irrigation channel, well, delivery truck, etc.

From a river, spring, irrigation ditch, or canal.- When the water comes from a natural or artificial source and is supplied manually or directly from a river, spring, irrigation channel, canal, or stream (manantial is also included in this list, but also means "spring").
