The objective of this article is to analyze the determinants that influence the behavior of Congolese households in the commune of Pointe-Noire in their choice of supply modes for running water. Using an unordered multinomial logit model, the study shows that only the variables household income, level of education, daily cost of purchasing water, gender, household size, type of construction materials and quantity of water drawn are significant determinants nts that positively influence the supply modes used for running water for the populations of the city of Pointe-Noire.
