According to the consumer group of the population (1,141,976 subscribers), the figure is 52.3 %, while for other users (businesses and public organizations, companies using water for commercial purposes, only 39,779 subscribers), this indicator is also not of 100% strength - only 85 5%. In Baku counters were provided to 63.6 % of the population and 96.3 % of other consumers.
