15. Extended questionnaire
This section of the questionnaire contains the questions you must apply in the households you have registered as: Single house on the land, house sharing land with other(s); duplex house; apartment in a building; housing unit in neighborhood or tenement and housing unit in the rooftop room of a building. That is, with classes 1 to 6 of private housing unit class.

V. Access to water
12. Piped water
The question identifies whether the housing unit has faucets or hoses where the residents obtain water, either indoors or only in the yard or lot, regardless of where the liquid comes from.

Read the question mentioning all the options and select the code that corresponds to the respondent's answer.

Consider that piped water can be identified in facilities such as toilets, sinks, and showers or simply if there is a faucet or hose from which the residents obtain water.

The first option, inside the housing unit, means that the faucets or hoses are located inside the housing unit, in the kitchen or the bathroom, either in a sink, washbasin, shower, or in the water tank of some toilet bowls.

When faucets or hoses are only in the yard or lot, they are seen in an open space and are located alone or in a sink or basin.

If the residents take water from another housing unit with a hose, as shown in the image, they are considered to have piped water, either inside or outside, depending on how far the hoses reach, which is normally where people use the water.

Also, if there is a well from which the liquid is extracted and sent through pipes or hoses to other installations in the house, as illustrated in the image, register that the house has faucets or hoses inside.

The option which does not have piped water should be registered when there are no pipes or hoses in the housing unit, or in its yard or land, from which water can be obtained and, consequently, the residents have to carry it or obtain it in some other way.

If the answer corresponds to the latter situation, question 14. Unpiped water applies, but if you register the option inside the housing unit or only in the yard or lot, skip to question 13. Water supply.
