The just-released survey - Key Indicators of Drinking Water, Sanitation, Hygiene and Housing Condition in India - states that 77.8% houses in AP have supplies within their premises and in three per cent of the households, members have to walk at least half a kilometer to fetch drinking water. The survey also said that sufficient water for activities excluding consumption was available to 86% of urban households throughout the year.
