(b) Obtains all of its water from, but is not owned or operated by, a public water system to which this chapter applies.
(c) Does not sell water to any person or user. For purposes of this subdivision, sale of water shall not include the sale of water, obtained from a public water system that is subject to this chapter, through a submetered distribution system if each user of the system is charged no more than the rate the user would be charged by the public water system.
