The board of trustees may also contract for the installation, rental or use of water service mains within the water service district and for the furnishing of water service to be used within such district. Any water service district incorporated under this Act may borrow money for the purpose of furnishing and installing water service mains for the district and may issue bonds therefor, but shall not become indebted in any manner, or for any purpose to an amount in the aggregate to exceed 5% on the valuation of taxable property therein to be ascertained by the last assessment for State and County taxes previous to the incurring of such indebtedness.
