  • Revenues derived from sewer rents, including

      following order:
        1.  For the payment of the costs of operation, maintenance and repairs
      of the sewer system or such part or parts thereof for which sewer  rents
      have been established and imposed.
        2.  For the payment of the interest on and amortization of, or payment
      of,  indebtedness  which  has  been  or  shall  be  incurred   for   the
      construction of the sewer system or such part or parts thereof for which
      sewer  rents have been established and imposed (other than indebtedness,
      and the interest thereon, which is to be paid in the first instance from
      assessments upon benefited real property).
        3. For the construction of sewage treatment and  disposal  works  with
      necessary   appurtenances   including   pumping  stations,  or  for  the
      extension, enlargement, or replacement of, or additions to,  such  sewer
      systems, or part or parts thereof.
        Such  revenues  from  sewer rents shall not be used (1) to finance the
      cost of any extension of any part of a  sewer  system  (other  than  any
      sewage   treatment  and  disposal  works  with  necessary  appurtenances
      including pumping stations) to serve unsewered areas if  such  part  has
      been  constructed  wholly  or  partly  at  the  expense of real property
      especially benefited, or (2) for the payment of the interest on, and the
      amortization of, or payment of, indebtedness which is to be paid in  the
      first instance from assessments upon benefited real property.
