. In any year a tax may be levied for the maintenance of the
water system in the county at a rate calculated to raise a sum of
money equal to the amount of the excess, if any, of the amount of the
estimated cost of such maintenance over the estimated amount of
revenues derived that are or will become available to defray such
cost. The rate of such a tax shall not in any year exceed fifteen
cents ($0.15) per one hundred dollars ($100) of the assessed
valuation of all taxable property within the county, unless a
proposal for a specified higher rate for a particular year is
submitted to the qualified electors of the county at a general or
special election and is approved by a majority of the electors voting
thereon.
