Interviewer instructions

This question is intended to gather information on water treatment at the household level and not water treatment at the municipal or vendor level. --- Circle '1' if 'Yes', and continue to the next question. If 'No' or 'DK' (Doesn't know'), circle '2' or '8', respectively, and skip to WS7.
