(c) No sale of unused water shall be made to any consumer without the consent of the municipality in which such water will be used, but such consent shall not unreasonably be withheld;
(d) No person and no municipality which is not a contracting municipality in a project shall have any right to require a commission to sell nor have any right to purchase any unused water available as a result of such project unless and until a party to a sale agreement and then only to the extent and upon the terms set forth therein.
