Such rentals, fees, prices, and other charges shall be so fixed and adjusted in respect to the aggregate thereof from a project or any part thereof so as to be reasonably expected to provide a fund sufficient with other revenues of such project and funds available to the division, if any, to pay the cost of maintaining, repairing, and operating a project, including the reserves for extraordinary repairs and insurance, unless such cost shall be otherwise provided for, which costs shall be deemed to include the expenses incurred by the division on account of a project for water, light, sewer, and other services furnished by other facilities at such project. Such fees shall be fixed after consideration of input from local governments served by the project to which the fees pertain.#
