(b) Time, interest rate and amount.--The bonds shall not be refunded for a longer period than 20 years, and the refunding lien bonds issued shall not bear interest at a rate exceeding 6%. The aggregate amount of the issued refunding lien bonds shall not exceed the amount of the bonds to be refunded. Any money placed in any fund by the borough or by any commission of the water system for the purpose of redeeming or paying the bonds at maturity shall be first applied to the payment of the principal of the bonds to be refunded, and the balance of the bonds only shall be refunded by the issue of new bonds.
