If you choose women as your unit of analysis in IPUMS-DHS (at idhsdata.org), you will find variables related to water treatment in the variable group "Toilet and water":
https://www.idhsdata.org/idhs-action/variables/group?id=hhol d_toilwat
Looking across the page, you'll see X's that indicate those samples that include specific variables. You can thus see how many of the 117 samples included in IPUMS-DHS had values for HV37 (Household uses any method to treat water), as well as many standard and country-specific variables on particular methods of water treatment. Based on my memory, countries are much more likely to ask what the household DOES to treat water, or where it gets its drinking water (HV201) than whether they got information about how to safely handle drinking water. If you decide to make a dataset using data through IPUMS-DHS, just log in using your regular DHS email and password.
Unfortunately, IPUMS-DHS does not yet include data from the Dominican Republic, but it does currently cover 28 countries.
