residential water means the total amount of metered and estimated non‑metered, potable and non‑potable, water supplied to residential properties.
self extract means to take water directly from a water resource for the use of the person who takes the water, but does not include taking water:
 (a) to provide it to another person; or
 (b) under a stock and domestic right; or
