The funds derived from the fees required by the provisions of this article and the moneys in said Reserve Funds shall be utilized solely for the purposes of defraying the actual or estimated costs of construction or reimbursement for the construction of planned local drainage facilities for the removal of surface and storm waters within the planned local drainage area from which the fees comprising the fund were collected.
