For the purpose of paying the principal or interest of bonds due or to become due within four months, and not otherwise adequately provided for, the district may borrow money in anticipation of the receipt of either the revenues and taxes of the fiscal year in which the loan is made or the revenues and taxes of the next succeeding fiscal year.

The amount of such tax, after deducting any available and applicable moneys on hand (exclusive of moneys in the reserve interest fund) and the estimated amount of revenues of the works for the ensuing 12 months, which estimated amount shall not exceed the actual revenues for the preceding 12 months or, if the works have not been in operation for as long as 12 months, not to exceed an amount computed on the basis of the average daily revenues for the lesser period, shall be sufficient to produce the sums required to be set aside into separate funds by Section 27300, as well as any deficit in such funds and the principal and interest of any outstanding revenue and tax anticipation notes. 27305. The taxes required to be levied and collected under this chapter shall be in addition to all other taxes levied for county purposes, and all taxable property of the district shall be and remain liable to be taxed as provided in this chapter until the entire principal and interest of the bonded indebtedness of the district has been paid in full.
