(2) maintain insurance on the leased facilities for the benefit of the lessor;  and

(3) assume all responsibilities for the operation, maintenance, repair, alterations, and additions of the leased facilities.

(b) All of the expenses incurred under subsection (a) and the lease rental are payable solely from the revenues derived from water rates and charges to be collected by the lessee from property and users in the area served by the leased facilities.

(c) The lessee may establish, fix, bill, and collect rates and charges with respect to the property and users in the area served by the leased facilities that are sufficient:

Rates and charges too low to meet these requirements are unlawful.  These rates and charges are subject to approval in accordance with IC 8-1.5-3-8.
