Section 11 - Housing
11.9. Water supply
(i) Public piped into dwelling - Describes a condition where running water from a public source is piped into the dwelling unit. It is to be noted that in cases where both truck-borne supplies and intermittent supplies from a public reservoir are used, public piped takes precedence over truck-borne.
[p.33]
(ii) Public piped into yard - Applies in a situation where the household receives running water from a public source through a pipe in the yard or compound on which the dwelling stands.
(iii) Public stand pipe - Obtains when water is available to the household, occupying a dwelling unit, from a stand pipe in the street or elsewhere.
(iv) Private piped into dwelling - Refers to water supply obtained from a private source and piped into the dwelling. Such a situation will occur, for example, where the household pumps water from a river or pond through pipes directly to the dwelling.
(v) Private catchment not piped - Obtains where the water is from a private source and not piped into the dwelling.
(vi) Truck-borne (and not piped into dwelling) - This applies when a truck-borne water supply is the sole source of water to the household. To satisfy the condition of truck-borne, the water supplied by trucks must be from a public source and the water so received is stored in drums or barrels from which the household draws its supply.
(vii) Spring / river / well / pond - This applies when the main water supply available to the dwelling is from a spring, river, well or pond.
(viii) Other - Obtains when the dwelling receives its water supply from a source not specified above.
