Sec. 34. (a) All revenues derived from the collection of fees for sewage treatment become a part of the sanitary maintenance and general expense fund established under section 32 of this chapter and shall be deposited, held, and used as provided in that section, except any part that the board sets aside in the sanitary district bond fund established under section 29 of this chapter or the sinking fund established under section 41 of this chapter.

     (b) The board may appropriate and set aside from the sanitary maintenance and general expense fund an amount of money to be used as a revolving fund for the payment of necessary preliminary expenses incurred by the board in connection with proposed projects, such as making surveys, estimating cost, employing engineers and other employees, preparing plans and specifications, and all other expenses to be paid before the issuance and sale of bonds under section 27 of this chapter.

     (c) The revolving fund shall be fully repaid by the board out of the first proceeds of the sale of bonds to the extent that the expenses paid are chargeable to the cost of acquiring land or construction under a resolution adopted and confirmed under section 18 of this chapter. The appropriations to the revolving fund shall be made in accordance with statutes governing appropriations by municipal corporations, but it is not necessary to appropriate the money set aside in the revolving fund before making expenditures from it.
