Note(s):
The provinces and territories with the highest percentage of unknown water use were the Northwest Territories (67%), Newfoundland and Labrador (67%), New Brunswick (52%) and Québec (30%) (Table 4). Data for Nunavut were too unreliable to be published. Higher proportions of unknown water use reduce the accuracy of average daily residential water use estimates.
