Question No. 13: Does this dwelling has toilet facilities?
The objective of this question is to determine if the household has any system to eliminate human waste, disregarding the material of which it has been built.
[There is a picture of a toilet facility.]
Read the question and next each of the options that appear in the questionnaire. After the respondent indicates one of the 4 options, consider that you must mark only one circle, according to the respondent's answer. Make the necessary clarifications considering this:
a. Facilities of pit or latrine (circle 1): It is formed by a deep pit in the ground covered by a small hut. This type of facilities is characteristic of rural areas of the country.
b. Toilet facilities connected to a sewage system (circle 2): It is connected to a system of pipes that exist in some localities for collection and transportation of waste water.
c. Toilet facilities connected to a septic tank (circle 3): It is built generally of waterproof concrete. It is used more frequently in suburban areas, where there is a water system, but no sanitary sewers. In the case of neighborhoods or urbanizations that have a septic tank for all dwellings, consider the facilities as connected to a sewer system.
[There is a picture representing toilet facilities connected to a septic tank.]
If the answer is any of the circles 1, 2, or 3, mark the corresponding circle and continue with question 15. You must draw a diagonal line in question 14.
