Council adopted the Borough of Tyrone’s 2026 Final Budget by Ordinance No. 1492, effective January 1, 2026. It appropriates a total of $19,444,457 across the Borough’s funds — the day-to-day general government, the water and sewer utilities, and the capital funds that pay for larger projects and equipment.
The complete budget — every fund and line item — is set out in the adopting ordinance and its Exhibit A.
The Borough keeps separate funds so that money raised for one purpose is spent on that purpose — water and sewer charges, for example, support the water and sewer systems, not the general government. These are the amounts appropriated to each fund for 2026.
| Fund | 2026 Appropriation |
|---|---|
| General Fund | $4,343,646 |
| Community Enrichment Fund | $737,982 |
| Special Fire Fund | $17,604 |
| Capital Fund | $1,697,857 |
| Liquid Fuels Fund | $198,000 |
| Water Fund | $2,090,901 |
| Water Capital Fund | $3,375,475 |
| Sewer Fund | $3,884,934 |
| Sewer Plant Capital Fund | $2,835,507 |
| Sewer Collection Capital Fund | $262,551 |
| Total — all funds | $19,444,457 |
Of the total above, the Borough’s general and related funds — what pays for everyday Borough services — total $6,995,089 for 2026. This is how that spending is budgeted across departments, including both operating and capital costs.
