The board of county commissioners may prohibit any waste of water within the unincorporated areas of the county by customers of a public water system. Any ordinance adopted under this section may:
1. Classify the conditions under which specified kinds and amounts of consumption or expenditure of water are wasteful;
2. Provide for reasonable notice to water users in any such area indicating which of such conditions, if any, exist in that area;
3. Allow any person, group of persons, partnership, corporation or other business or governmental entity which:
(a) Furnishes water to persons within such areas of the county for business, manufacturing, agricultural or household use; and
(b) Is not a public utility regulated by the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada,
Ê to reduce or terminate water service to any customer who wastes water, according to reasonable standards adopted by the board; and
4. Provide other appropriate penalties for violation of the ordinance which are based upon the classification adopted under subsection 1.
