Sanitary services

27. Use of services (in case of available sanitary services)

In this section, we investigate the existence and characteristics of some of the services that should be in every dwelling, such as water, drains, lighting, etc.

b) Sanitary services:

[p. 28]

In this section of the form, we investigate three aspects:

1) Type of service: it refers to the type of installation used for the elimination of fecal materials in the dwelling;
2) Use of service: it refers to the use of that installation (private or collective); and
3) Type of sewer: it is the place where the sewer drain of the sanitary service is connected.

Use of the sanitary service (line 27):

In some dwellings, for each census household there is a sanitary service; in this case you mark the first small box in this section that is titled "exclusive use of the census household." However, if various families use the same sanitary service which means by occupants of different dwellings, you mark the small box titled "common use by various census households."
