City of Fairmont, MN -

Public Notice: Harmful Algae – July 20, 2021 – Low water levels and very little flow in the chain of lakes are leading to warmer water temperatures. These temperatures can lead to harmful algae blooms (ie. blue-green algae). Blue-green algae has the potential to be harmful to people and pets. The City would like to remind everyone about this potential and ask you to stay on the lookout when utilizing our lakes. Anyone with questions can contact City Hall at 507-238-9461.

Public Notice: Please Practice Responsible Water Conservation – July 19, 2021 – The increasing drought conditions across the state have prompted the MN Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR) to move the state to the drought warning phase as defined by the MNDNR Drought Action Plan. This action requires all public water suppliers to implement appropriate water use restrictions. As a result, the City is asking all water customers to implement voluntary water restrictions immediately. These water restrictions include items such as; no irrigating lawns (new seeds and plantings are exempt), no vehicle washing (excluding commercial car washes), reducing household consumption, not filling backyard pool/spa. Anyone with questions can contact City Hall at 507-238-9461. Additional information can be viewed at the following:
