but shall not exceed the equivalent of one (1) mill on each dollar
of valuation in the district.

such district residing in the town or city, bears to the total
population of the district.
C.  Such cost shall include so much of the following as is not
paid from revenues of the district:
1.  All operating and maintenance expenses necessary or
desirable for the prudent conduct of affairs of the district and the
principal of and interest on the obligations issued or assumed by
the district in the performance of the purposes for which it was
organized; and
2.  Adequate reserves for the retirement of indebtedness,
maintenance and other purposes necessary and expedient to meeting
all obligations of the district.

first, to the payment of operating and maintenance expenses and the
principal and interest on outstanding obligations and, thereafter,
to such reserves for improvements, retirement of indebtedness, new
construction, depreciation and contingencies as the board of
directors may from time to time prescribe.
