Such ordinance will also include remedies in case of default, provisions for the issuance of parity bonds, and such additional covenants, agreements and provisions as are judged advisable or necessary by the Issuer and the purchaser of the Bonds, including sinking funds and reserves for the payment of principal and interest on the Bonds and an adequate maintenance or contingency fund for those repairs and improvements to the System as may be necessary to assure adequate and efficient service to the public, all as provided by the Act.
