(1) The district may, when authorized by a majority of the votes cast at an election by electors of the district, issue general obligation bonds for the purpose of paying the cost of acquisition or construction of service facilities. Each issue of general obligation bonds shall be the general obligation of the district and the principal and interest on the bonds shall be paid by the district by assessments, charges, or ad valorem taxes imposed or levied within the district as may be determined by the governing body of the district under ORS 451.490.

The revenue bonds shall be issued as prescribed in ORS chapter 287A, but they are payable, both as to principal and interest from revenues only, as specified by this section. The revenue bonds are not subject to the percentage limitation applicable to general obligation bonds and are not a lien upon any of the taxable property within the boundaries of such district, but are payable solely from such part of the revenues of the district as remain after payment of obligations having a priority and of all expenses of operation and maintenance of the district.
