      2. The reasonable loss of water:

      (a) During a test of a geothermal well; or

      (b) From the temporary failure of all or part of a system that removes water from an aquifer or geothermal reservoir, transfers the heat from that water and reinjects that water into the same aquifer or reservoir.
