(b)

Make and levy or order to be made and levied within that subdistrict a separate drainage rate not exceeding such an amount in the pound on the rateable value of all rateable property within that subdistrict in accordance with the system of rating for the time being in force within that subdistrict as in the opinion of the Board is required to pay the total loan charges on account of any loans raised for sewerage and storm-water works constructed or proposed to be constructed for the benefit of that subdistrict, the renewal fund payments in respect of the works, and all charges, costs, and expenses incurred in operating and maintaining in good order the works.

(2)

A certificate in writing signed by the Secretary of the Board as to the total loan charges, renewal fund payments, and charges, costs, and expenses as aforesaid, and the determination of the Board, by resolution, as to the amount of the separate drainage rate required as aforesaid, shall be final and conclusive as to such total loan charges, renewal fund payments, and charges, costs, and expenses, and as to such amount of rate respectively.

(3)

The Board may make and levy such separate drainage rate notwithstanding any provision in the principal Act or in any other Act limiting or in any way restricting the rating power of the Board but, with that exception, all the provisions of the principal Act shall apply to such separate drainage rate and generally to the subdistrict.

(4)

A separate account shall be kept by the Board of the proceeds of the separate drainage rate, and of the total loan charges, renewal fund payments, and charges, costs, and expenses as aforesaid.
