(c) Prior to the issuance of any bonds under this article, the governing body of the borrower shall adopt authorizing proceedings which shall set forth the purpose of the issue, a brief description of any system to be acquired with any part of the proceeds of such issue, a brief description of any improvement, enlargement, extension or repair to be financed with any part of such proceeds, a statement of the estimated cost of acquiring any such system or making any such improvement, enlargement, extension or repair, a description of the bonds to be issued, including the total principal amount thereof, the maximum rate of interest to be borne thereby, the times and places of payment of the principal thereof and the interest thereon and any other details respecting such bonds that the governing body may deem advisable and that are not in conflict with the provisions of this article.

The bonds and coupons shall be executed in the manner and shall be substantially in the form provided in the authorizing proceedings. The bonds may be issued in coupon or in registered forms or both as the governing body may determine, and provision may be made for the registration of any coupon bonds as to principal alone and also as to both principal and interest, and for the conversion of bonds in bearer form into registered form and vice versa. All bonds issued under this article (including any bonds issued wholly or in part for refunding as provided in this article) shall mature in the manner provided for the maturity of revenue bonds in Section 11-81-6 and shall be sold as provided in Sections 11-81-10 through 11-81-12. Prior to the preparation of definitive bonds, any borrower may, under the restrictions contained in this article, issue temporary bonds, with or without coupons, exchangeable for definitive bonds upon the issuance of the latter. The governing body of any borrower shall have the power to provide for the replacement of any bonds which shall become mutilated or be destroyed or lost.
(e) No bond or coupon issued pursuant to this article shall constitute an indebtedness of the borrower issuing the same within the meaning of any state constitutional provision or statutory limitation. It shall be plainly stated in each of the bonds that the same has been issued under the provisions of this article and that it does not constitute an indebtedness of such borrower within any state constitutional provision or statutory limitation.
(f) The authorizing proceedings may provide for the issuance of the bonds under a trust indenture, which may contain such provisions as the governing body may choose to insert therein regarding the duties and obligations of the borrower and the trustee under such trust indenture, the rights, remedies and privileges of the holders of such bonds and the coupons thereunto appertaining and of such trustee with respect to the system or systems out of the revenues from which such bonds are payable and with respect to such revenues; provided, however, that the provisions of any such trust indenture shall not conflict with any provisions of this article. The trustee under such trust indenture may be any trust company or bank either within or without the state having the powers of a trust company in the United States.
