3. Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund. In order to meet a public emergency affecting the safety, health and welfare of the citizens, to meet regulatory conditions imposed, or to avoid a financial loss to the utility and where the requirements cannot be met through the prudent use of existing reserves, by the affirmative vote of three members of the Commission the City may, by ordinance, incur debt in the Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund. The debt must be used within the water and sewer enterprise fund and must be retired from revenues derived from the sale of water and sewer services. The maturity of the debt shall not exceed 80% of the expected useful life of the assets purchased. This paragraph supersedes limitations provided for on the issuance of debt provided for on the issuance of debt provided elsewhere in this Charter.
