Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

In standard DHS coding, NA (a dot in Stata) would mean that the question was not asked for this household. It may be that their source of drinking water was already in a "safe" category. It you look for this question in the questionnaire, which is in an appendix for the final report, I am sure you will find a skip based on a previous question.
