Landfill Budget Summary
DRAFT
2026 budget notables include: the fund balance covering part of the operating expenses and envrionmental
pollution insurance. *Testing the leachate tank.
2027 budget notables include: the fund balance covering a portion of the expenses, and envrionmental pollution
insurance. Replacement of the leachate tank [Repair & Maintenance Services]. The results of the leachate tank
test done in 2026 will decide if the tanks needs to be replaced or not.
*Results of this test will not be available until after the budgetary process has been completed. If the tank does
not need to be replaced in 2027, fewer funds will need to be drawn from the fund balance to cover the cost of
the closed landfills.
