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).

Taylor Dahl has your dad seen this?
Street Sweeping Update | May 15, 2024
Unfortunately, due to the weather, we have had to shut down the street sweeping planned for today. Areas marked on the map in red were not completed. The 'No Parking' signs have been removed, and residents are free to park on the street again. Areas marked on the attached map in green were completed before the rain started.
Routes that were not completed today will be re-signed and scheduled for when the weather improves.
