Mmmmm! Why can’t there be some kind of discount like the county offers if paid before due date?
I totally agree! Instead ours goes up!
I agree. Only penalties for late…money for them and nothing for us, as usual.
📣 UPDATE
The RV sanitation station at the ARC Bark Park is now open!

Potable water?
Why can’t the new Rv sanitation have the same concrete ramps to drive onto? The concrete ramp ensures the rvs are empty & makes for the best drainage.
Happy Long Weekend!
As we gear up for the kickoff to the summer season, we'd like to remind residents that we are still under a Fire Restriction in Drayton Valley & Brazeau County. The rain over the last few days is not enough to lift this ban. Wildfires can start easily from most causes, especially unattended campfires or cooking fires. Wildfires may become serious & difficult to control if not successfully contained while small.
Below is what you need to know about having a campfire on your own property, in a campground or on Crown land in Drayton Valley/Brazeau County and in the Rocky Mountain House & Edson Forest Protection Areas (FPA).
