So long as the district is indebted to any person on any bonds, notes, or other obligations issued pursuant to the authority of this act, the provisions of this act and the powers granted to the district are not in any way diminished, and the provisions of this act are considered a part of the contract between the district and the holders of these obligations.

All agreements and obligations undertaken and all securities issued by a district are exclusively an obligation of the district and do not create an obligation or debt of the State, any authorizing subdivision, or any other county or municipality within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provision. The faith and credit of the State, any authorizing subdivision, or any other county or municipality must not be pledged for the payment of any securities issued by a district, nor is the State or any authorizing subdivision or any county or municipality liable in any manner for the payment of the principal of or interest on any securities of a district or for the performance of any pledge, mortgage, obligation, or agreement of any kind whatsoever, that may be undertaken by a district.
