(a) Furnishes water to persons within the city for business, manufacturing, agricultural or household use; and
(b) Is not a public utility regulated by the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada,
to reduce or terminate water service to any customer or user who wastes water, according to reasonable standards adopted by the board; and
