Such rates shall be fixed and revised from time to time so as to produce these amounts and the governing body shall covenant and agree in the ordinance authorizing the issuance of the bonds and on the face of each bond at all times to maintain such rates for services furnished by such system, project or combined system as shall be sufficient to provide for the foregoing.
