The interest earned, whether from a consolidated or separate account, shall immediately be deposited in the drainage district fund to which the principal belongs.

The principal balances of each drainage district fund shall be accounted for at all times and may only be spent by order of the drain commissioner or drainage board on expenses necessary for the operation and maintenance of the drain to which the fund belongs.
