(1) The board may sell bonds so issued from time to time in such quantities as necessary and most advantageous to raise the money for the construction of reservoirs or canals, or the purchase of reservoir sites, reservoirs, water rights and works, and otherwise to carry out the objects and purposes of this article. Before making any sale, the board at a meeting shall declare by resolution its intent to sell a specified amount of bonds and the day and hour and place of such sale and shall cause such resolution to be entered in its minutes and a notice of the sale to be published at least twenty days in a daily newspaper published in the city of Denver and in any other newspaper at its discretion. The notice shall state that sealed proposals will be received by the board at its office for the purchase of the bonds until the day and hour named in the resolution. At the time appointed the board shall open the proposals and award the purchase of the bonds to the highest responsible bidder or may reject any and all bids; but said board shall, in no event, sell any of said bonds for less than ninety-five percent of the face value thereof.

(2) The bonds and the interest thereon shall be paid by revenue derived from an annual assessment upon the real property of the district, and the real property of the district shall be and remain liable to be assessed for such payments as provided in this article.
