41-14-103. Issuance of bonds; purchase of bonds by state treasurer; interest rates; when bonds due and payable; disposition of proceeds of sale; use of revenues derived from furnishing water.

(a) The board is hereby authorized to issue its nonnegotiable debenture bonds in such numbers and amounts, not exceeding nine hundred thousand dollars ($900,000.00), as may, from time to time, be required by it to carry out the provisions of this act. The state treasurer is hereby authorized and directed, with the approval of the governor and the attorney general, to purchase such bonds for investment of the permanent funds of the state of Wyoming to the extent practicable. Such bonds issued by the board will bear interest at the rate of three percent (3%) per annum and will be payable on dates fixed by the board but not more than ten (10) years from the date of issue.

(b) The funds obtained from the sale of said bonds provided for in subsection (a) of this section are hereby made available to the board to be used for the purposes of this act including, but not limited to the payment of any sums due to the United States for the repayment of the cost of construction of the space acquired by the board in the proposed Fontenelle Reservoir; its share of operation and maintenance of said reservoir and refunding of principal or interest of bonds issued by it.

(c) All revenues derived from the furnishing of water for industrial or municipal purposes pursuant to this act shall be credited to a separate account. The board shall use any monies in this account for the repayment to the United States of the allocated cost of construction and operation and maintenance of the board's acquired space in the Fontenelle Reservoir and for payment of interest and principal on its obligations prior to the use for such purposes of funds received by it from the sale of its bonds. All monies in this account in excess of those required for the board's current operations under this act shall be applied to the retirement of the board's debenture bonds purchased by the state treasurer.
