Any proposed contract approved by the voters of the Rainbow Municipal Water District, as provided in this article, at a special election held prior to January 1, 1978, shall be an approved contract notwithstanding that the maximum interest rate on such indebtedness was not known at the time of the special election and was not included in the proposition submitted to the voters of the district at the special election.
The provisions of this section are necessary because of special circumstances within the Rainbow Municipal Water District. A special election was held in the Rainbow Municipal Water District at which there was submitted to the voters of the district the proposition to approve a contract with the United States for a loan for the acquisition and construction of water facilities. At the time the proposed contract was submitted to the voters of the district the maximum interest rate on the indebtedness was not known and was not included in the proposition, although the voters were informed of the approximate rate of interest on the indebtedness. The proposed contract was approved by the voters and the district must enter into the contract in order to provide needed water to the inhabitants of the district. It is therefore hereby declared that a general law cannot be made applicable and that the enactment of this section as a special law is necessary for the solution of problems existing in the Rainbow Municipal Water District.
