Evacuation order lifted at 5 p.m. Monday

   As of 5:00 PM June 24, the mandatory evacuation order will be lifted in the Town of Drumheller and surrounding areas.
    However, this does not mean all residents will be able to return to their homes immediately. Emergency personnel are assessing risk areas and AltaGas will require time to turn gas back in each community.
    We appreciate your patience as we remove debris in affected areas to provide a safe and secure environment for re-entry. Watch out for obstacles and equipment as responders are still moving equipment.
