      Except as provided by Section 36.117, a district that is
created under this chapter on or after September 1, 1991, shall
exempt from regulation under this chapter a well and any water
produced or to be produced by a well that is located in a county
that has a population of 14,000 or less if the water is to be used
solely to supply a municipality that has a population of <115,000>
120,000 or less but more than 30,000 and the rights to the water
produced from the well are owned by a political subdivision that is
not a municipality, or by a municipality that has a population of
<93,000> 120,000 or less but more than 30,000, and that purchased,
owned, or held rights to the water before the date on which the

the water is produced.  The district may not prohibit the political
subdivision or municipality from transporting produced water inside
or outside the district's boundaries.
