  • PRIVATE HOUSEHOLD:  A group of people residing in the same housing unit who are related to each other (by law or "de facto"). They may occupy all or part of the housing unit. A private household is also considered to be any independent person occupying a part or all of a housing unit.
  • DWELLING:  A separate and independent place which was built, rebuilt, enlarged or converted to be used as a private accommodation, and that is not totally occupied for other purposes during the reference period. Separate means that the place is enclosured by classic or any other type of walls, covered, and allowing a person or group of persons to sleep, cook and shelter from intemperate weather, apart from other members of the collectivity. Independent means that its occupants do not have to pass or go through any other dwelling to get in or out the dwelling they live in.
  • SEWER DRAINAGE SYSTEM:  Set of infrastructures and equipments designed to collect the sewage produced by a community and drain it to a proper treatment facility in order that it is discharged in soil or water bodies in a way that it does not change existing environmental conditions. A complete system includes drainage pipes or net, intermediate discharger, pumping station, interceptor, wastewater treatment plant and final discharger.
