Practice question
A business sells bottled drinking water but operates no water or wastewater pipeline system and fits no other listed category. It says every water-related business is necessarily a public utility under this list. Which is best?
- Every sale of water necessarily involves a statutory pipeline utility.
- Only the business's chosen slogan determines utility status.
- Every bottled-water buyer becomes a utility operator.
- That conclusion does not follow from the listed pipeline-system category.
- The public-utility list contains no water-related category at all.
