(b) The receiver shall have the power to operate and maintain the electric system and to charge and collect rates, fees, and charges sufficient to provide for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the bonds, after providing for the payment of any costs of receivership and operating expenses of the electric system, and to apply the revenues derived from the electric system in conformity with this chapter and the ordinance or trust indenture authorizing or securing the bonds.
(c) When the default has been cured, the receivership shall be ended and the electric system returned to the municipality.
