The Commonwealth Government does hereby pledge to, and agree with, any person, firm or corporation, or any federal, Commonwealth or state agency, subscribing to or acquiring bonds of the Authority to finance in whole or in part any undertaking or any part thereof, that it will not limit or alter the rights or powers hereby vested in the Authority until all such bonds at any time issued, together with the interest thereon, are fully met and discharged. The Commonwealth Government does further pledge to, and agree with, the United States and any other federal agency that in the event that any federal agency shall construct, extend, improve, or enlarge, or contribute any funds for the construction, extension, improvement, or enlargement of, any project for the development of the water resources in Puerto Rico or any portion thereof, the Commonwealth Government will not alter or limit the rights or powers of the Authority in any manner which would be inconsistent with the continued maintenance and operation of the water resources development or the extensions, improvement, or enlargement thereof, or which would be inconsistent with the due performance of any agreements between the Authority and any such federal agency; and the Authority shall continue to have and may exercise all rights and powers herein granted so long as the same shall be necessary or desirable for the carrying out of the purposes of §§ 191—217 of this title and the purpose of the United States or any other federal agency in constructing, extending, improving or enlarging, or contributing funds for the construction, extension, improvement or enlargement of, any water resources development or any portion thereof.
