2. Toilet facilities

The questions included in this part of the form should be investigated for each of the households that are residing in the dwelling at the time of the Census.

The following specific instructions will allow the enumerator to carry out the work more efficiently.

Question 2: toilet facilities

1. How to formulate the question

What type of toilet facilities doe the household have access to?

The following definitions are taken under consideration:

The enumerator should be aware of the difference between: a) a "toilet connected to a sewer"; b) "toilet connected to a septic tank"; c) "washable toilet"; and d) "outhouse or latrine". Type "a" refers to the installation for the elimination of human waste connected to a sewer that receives water through pressurized pipes.

[p. 43]

Type "b" refers to an installation for the elimination of human waste that receives pressurized water and is connected directly to a septic tank.

Type "c" refers to an installation for the elimination of human waste without a pressurized water connection; rather the waste is washed with water transported in a recipient or in another form (water current). Type "d" is similar to the previous type except it does not have a current of water.

In the cases in which the dwelling has a toilet (either connected to a sewer or septic tank), the enumerator will find out, before recording the data, if it is used by only one household (exclusive service) or by two or more households (service for multiple households).

2. How to record the data

The enumerator will circle the number corresponding to the answer given.
