Fargo received one of the four loans given out this month.
Fessenden was awarded a $2 million loan to reconstruct the existing lagoons; Stanley was awarded two loans totaling $2.4 million to replace water and sanitary sewer lines, replace damaged storm sewer and install new manholes along several streets.

Part of the funding for the loans comes from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the release said.
