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.
