If drinking water is obtained from several sources, probe to determine the source from which the household obtains most of its drinking water.
Description
Source of drinking water - refers to the main source of drinking water for members of the household
The purpose of this question is to assess the cleanliness of the drinking water of the household.
The different sources of drinking water are defined as follows:
1. Community Water System - when the household gets the water supply from a faucet inside the house (Code “11”), or yard (Code “12”), or from a public tap (Code “13”), whether for own use or shared, directly connected to a water pipeline from the community water system such as the Maynilad Water Services, Incorporated (MWSI) or the local water network system. Water system with deep well as source should also be reported under this category as long as it subscribes to a community water system, such as those provided by developers to homeowners.
2. Protected Well - includes tubewell or borehole and protected dug well.
a. Tubewell or borehole - refers to water tapped by digging a hole or sinking pipes into the ground and installing water drawing equipment such as pumps.
b. Dug wells - excavations that are circular or rectangular in shape, with diameter usually ranging from 1 to 1.5 meters. They are protected if they have a lining made of permanent materials like masonry or brickworks of reinforced concrete materials which serve as protection against surface or outside contamination. They may further be provided with roofs or removable covers which protect the wells from falling materials.
3. Unprotected (open dug well) - an undeveloped dug well, hence, unprotected from external contamination unlike the ones mentioned above.
4. Developed spring - spring water occurs when water in water-bearing stratum reaches the surface of the ground. Spring can be developed by enlarging the water outlet and constructing an intake structure for water catchment and storage. It is considered as protected if efforts were made to develop or shield it from external contamination such as filters, roof, among others.
5. Undeveloped spring - refers to spring water that are not protected from external contaminations.
6. River/stream/pond/lake/dam - bodies of water which are mixtures of surface run-off or ground water (surface water).
7. Bottled water/refilling station - includes mineral/distilled water bought in bottles, gallons, or any other containers
8. Rainwater - water is used as source of drinking water. It may be collected and stored through cisterns, collectors, catchers, reservoirs, tanks, or other storage vessels.
9. Tanker truck/peddler - when ater comes from moving tanker trucks or ambulant/roving vendors, regardless of where the water originally came from. During emergency situations or in case of extreme water crisis, water from trucks are sometimes distributed for free or for a minimal fee. However, ambulant vendors usually sell water or are hired to provide water to the household.
10. Others (specify) - include any source of drinking water that cannot be classified in any of the above mentioned categories.
The codes to be used are as follows:
11 - Community water system piped into dwelling
12 - Community water system piped into yard or plot
13 - Community water system piped into public tap
21 - Point source is protected wel)
22 - Point source is unprotected wel (open dug well)l
31 - Developed spring
32 - Uneveloped spring
33 - River/stream/pond/lake/dam
41 - Bottled water/refilling station
51 - Rainwater
