The remaining proportion of the balance shall <br>be set aside for the reasonable and proper operation and maintenance of the joint or <br>cooperative action. (9) The rents, royalties, fees, rates, and charges for the service or sale of the joint or cooperative action shall be fixed and revised from time to time so as to be sufficient <br>to provide for the payment of interest upon all bonds and to create a sinking fund to <br>pay the principal of the bonds when due, and to provide for the operation and <br>maintenance of the joint or cooperative action and an adequate depreciation <br>account.
