A. The board of supervisors of the county in which the office of the power district is located shall immediately upon receipt of the estimates of the total assessments of the district and the certificate of the board of directors certifying the total amount of money required to be raised by taxation, fix the rate of levy necessary to provide the amount of money required to pay the principal and interest of the bonds of the district as they become due, fix the rate necessary to provide the amount of money required for any other purposes of the district which are to be raised by the levy of taxes upon the real property of the district, and certify the respective rates of levy to the board of supervisors of any other county embracing any portion of the district. The levy shall be increased fifteen per cent to provide for delinquencies.
