One City, Three Shores

The utility, police, and liquor store the city owns

Fairmont's utility, police department, and liquor store each keep their own shore here, joined the way Amber joins the chain: connected, and distinct.

Each shore keeps its own contacts, hours, and records. The search box above reads all three.

Amber · Hall · Budd · Sisseton · George

Five lakes, four joined by channel

Four of Fairmont's five lakes connect by channel, so a boat can run Hall to George without leaving the water. The fifth, Amber, waits behind its dam. The Lakes Management Committee keeps watch over all of them, in public.
