Residential additions are the number of households; commercial and light industrial are tallied by number of accounts. The customer count excludes inactive accounts, multi-meter groups except the master, accounts with all meters removed and unmetered service when the revenue category is the same as the metered service. The increases in F2006 parallel increases in net provincial in-migration and economic growth. Due to accounting changes, comparison to historical data is available only for the previous fiscal year.
