5. Drinking water:
[] 1 Public aqueduct
[] 2 Deep well, public or private (the water is extracted via pump)
[] 3 Other (shallow well, uncovered spring brocal, rain, river, etc.)
Question 5 Drinking water:
Mark box 1 when the water that the occupants of the dwelling drink comes from a public aqueduct, that is, an aqueduct that serves the community or a large part of it. To mark box 1, take into consideration the following:
a) There are dwellings that do not have interior installation of aqueduct pipes, but their inhabitants get the water from a water pump (faucet) installed outside of the dwelling. Consequently, you should always mark box 1 if the occupants of the dwelling drink water from the public aqueduct, it does not matter where they have to look for it.
[To the right of the text is box one, with a picture of a public water tower below it.]
[p. 27]
b) In cities and villages with a public aqueduct, there are dwellings, especially on the outskirts, whose occupants do not drink water from the public aqueduct. Because of this, in case of doubt you should ask the question.
Mark box 2 when the water that the occupants of the dwelling drink comes from a deep well, public well or private well fit with a pump to extract the water. To mark box 2, take into consideration the following:
a) The pump can be manual (artesian well) or motorized.
[Under the text are 3 pictures: a deep well, a public well and a private well to the right of box 2.]
b) The well can be public (for example, an artesian well installed in the public square) or can be private.
c) The water coming from the well can be distributed in the house through a system of pipes or simply collected and transported in containers.
Mark box 3 when the water that the occupants of the dwelling drink is neither obtained from a public aqueduct nor from a deep well with a pump. [p.28] Box 3 will be marked in the cases of uncovered springs (brocal) or when the water to drink is taken directly from a river, gulch, and natural pool, or when it is rain water.
