Except for the proceeds of refunding bonds, all moneys obtained from the sale of bonds under ORS 541.780 to 541.815 shall be credited by the State Treasurer to the Water Development Fund. Such moneys shall be used only for the purposes stated in Article XI-I (1), Oregon Constitution, and ORS 541.700, 541.705 to 541.770 and 541.835.

Pending the use of moneys in the Water Development Fund for the proper purposes, such moneys may be invested in the manner provided by law.
