Question H-27 -- Toilet facility

"What is the MAIN type of TOILET facility that is available for use by this household?"

[P. 60]

Read out the alternatives. Alternative 1, flush toilet attached to a sewerage system, is found mainly in urban settlements.

Alternative 2 is a flush toilet attached to a septic tank. A septic tank is an underground tank where the organic matter in sewage is dealt with by bacterial activity. It has to be emptied from time to time.

We want only one toilet facility. If there are several types available for the household, indicate the one that is mostly used.
