This subsection shall not be construed to prohibit or require the director to include projected additions to a long-term storage account in determining whether to issue a certificate of assured water supply to the person, or if the person is a city, town or private water company, whether to designate or redesignate the city, town or private water company as having an assured water supply.

Outside an active management area, except as provided in section 45-853.01, subsection C and on the request of a person who holds long-term storage credits, the director shall include the amount of long-term storage credits requested by the person in determining whether to issue a report of adequate water supply pursuant to section 45-108 for a subdivision to the person, or if the person is a city, town or private water company, whether to designate the city, town or private water company as having an adequate water supply. This subsection shall not be construed to prohibit or require the director to include projected additions to a long-term storage account in determining whether to issue a report of adequate water supply for a subdivision to the person, or if the person who holds the long-term storage account is a city, town or private water company, whether to designate the city, town or private water company as having an adequate water supply.

C. Long-term storage credits included by the director in making the determinations and designations in subsections A and B of this section are not assignable by the person holding the credits, unless the director has determined that the credits will continue to be used for the subdivision for which the certificate of assured water supply or certificate of adequate water supply has been issued or for the service area that has been designated as having an assured water supply or an adequate water supply.
