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.

The municipal water supply has NOT been affected and is safe for consumption.

The Town of Drumheller's State of Local Emergency is still in effect.

   Though the Red Deer River remains high, the end may be in sight.

   The river peaked at 1,322 cubic metres per second at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 23. Since then, the river has slowly been receding. As of 5 a.m. Monday morning, the river was measured at 1,241 cubic metres per second by Alberta Environment.

    Drumheller isn't out of the woods yet, however. The local state of emergency remains in effect as the Town monitors surrounding areas, river levels, and discharge from the Dickson Dam. The evacuation order remains in effect at this time.

    Schools, the Associate Clinic, Royal Tyrrell Museum, Aquaplex, and Badlands Community Facility are closed today. Those needing emergency treatment can still go to the Drumheller Health Centre on North Dinosaur Trail.
