COTTONWOOD SUBDIVISION
WATER MAIN DESIGN REPORT
A. General
This design report will give an overview of the proposed 8” water main extensions for the
development of the Cottonwood Subdivision, located at the intersection of Cottonwood Rd and
Loyal Drive in Bozeman. The 28-acre subdivision is zoned R-5 and will consist of multi-
residential units. The proposed improvements are anticipated to be phased, with the first phase
being constructed in 2021.
This report includes a description of the proposed water main extensions and design parameters.
Once the water main is constructed and approved, the main will become a part of the City of
Bozeman (COB) system. The following references were used in the preparation of this report:
a. COB Design Standards and Specifications Policy, 2004. Addendum #5
b. COB Modifications to Montana Public Works Standard Specifications (MPWSS).
c. WQB Circular No. 1
d. City of Bozeman Zoning Map
e. Uniform Plumbing Code
f. City of Bozeman Water Facility Plan Update, July 2017
A.1. Site Conditions
Soil conditions on site consist of a native topsoil to a depth of approximately 12 inches, which is
underlain by a thin, intermediate layer of stiff, silt/clay. Beginning at depths of 1.2 to 2.5 feet is
an alluvial deposit of clean, sandy gravel that underlies much of the Bozeman area at relatively
shallow depths. This clean, sandy gravel extended to the bottom of all 10 to 11 foot test pits.
Groundwater depths on site are, on average, to a depth of 7 to 9 feet in the north, central, and
east sides of the property, but at a shallower 5-foot depth on the south and southwest sides.
Groundwater levels were monitored during the spring and summer of 2018. The highest
groundwater levels were recorded in mid-April and showed shallow water conditions across the
site. Throughout most of the site, the seasonal high water depths ranged from 3 to 4 feet, but
rose to as high as 1.0 to 2.5 feet below the ground surface in the site’s southwest corner. Water
flows on site in a in a northwesterly direction.
No basements are advised on site. Crawl spaces are only recommended if the depth is limited
below existing site grades, in-filling the crawl space up to the top of footings with a clean
crushed rock layer, and installing subsurface drainage measure. Otherwise, at-grade slabs with
perimeter footings and frost walls are recommended.
The site is in an “Area of Minimal Flood Hazard” per the FEMA Panel 30031C0811D.
B. Existing Water Supply
The proposed water main extensions will be connected to the existing COB water distribution
system in Cottonwood Road at Loyal Drive and Alpha Drive as well as in Huffine Road. The

following information regarding pressures of the existing system was obtained from the City of
Bozeman:
Fire Hydrant – Golden Gate and Advanced Drive. Hydrants 2201 and 2202
Static Pressure: 115 psi
Pitot Pressure: 80 psi
Residual Pressure: 110 psi
Hydrant Discharge During Test: 1,494 gpm
Distribution Main Capacity – Fire flow at minimum residual pressure
Qr = Qt[(Ps – Pr)/(Ps – Pt)]0.54
Qr = 1,494[(115 – 20)/(115 – 80)]0.54
Qr = 2,562 gpm
Qt = Hydrant Discharge During Test (gpm)
Qr = Fire Flow at Minimum Residual Pressure (psi)
Ps = Static Pressure (psi)
Pm = Minimum Residual Pressure (psi)
Pr = Residual Pressure (psi)
Pt = Pitot Pressure (psi)
C. Proposed Water System
The proposed water main extension will consist of approximately 4,030 lf of 8" Class 51 Ductile
Iron Pipe within the subdivision's local streets. The proposed main will connect to an 8-inch stub
in Cottonwood Road and Loyal Drive, and also be connected to the 10" water main in Huffine
Lane. The layout of the proposed water main meets the City of Bozeman design criteria and will
be located both within the right-of way and a proposed 30’ wide easement in which the water
main will be installed from the subdivision north to Huffine. The water main will be separated
from the proposed sanitary sewer main by a minimum distance of 10 feet. The layout of the
proposed water main meets the COB design criteria. Fire hydrants will be installed so not to
exceed 600’ spacing, fulfilling the distance requirement for fire hydrant spacing, as well as
assisting in flushing of the main. Gate valves will be installed at the connection point to the
existing mains as well as on property lines, per City standards. Blow-offs have been designed
for all dead-end lines that will be extended in the future. Depending on lot layout, each building
within the subdivision will either be served by a service line connecting directly to the water
main or by a main extension looping through that lot.
This system is not expected to be extended or expanded past what is proposed in this report, as
all lots within the subdivision are accounted for in this report. If any extensions are required in
the future, that developer will be required to analyze and submit a report to the City of Bozeman
and the MDEQ for review (DEQ 1.1.2.c. and d., and 1.1.14).
D. Capacity Analysis
A capacity analysis was performed on the proposed water main extension for the 28-acre
subdivision of R-5, residential mixed-use high density. The water main extension has been

Water Design Report

designed to meet the maximum day demand plus fire flow during the peak hour. The City does
not have design standards for R-5 mixed-use high density residential. To determine the water
demand for the entire subdivision, the density was assumed based on the proposed 400 units over
the 16.76 developable acres, and the City of Bozeman design of 170 gpd per capita and 2.17
persons/unit. This equates to 23.89 units/acre. The main will be looped into the existing City of
Bozeman system. Table 1 shows the water demand for the entire subdivision.
TABLE 1
WATER DEMAND – RESIDENTIAL
Zoning Units Density
(residents/unit)
Per Capita Flow
(gpd/resident) Total Flow
R-5 400 2.17 170 147,560 (gpd)
103 (gpm)
It is anticipated that the average daily demand for the subdivision will be 103 gpm. In addition
to the average daily demand, the water main extension must account for peak periods of daily
use. Peaking factors are applied to the demand and account for these peak periods in daily use.
The peaking factors used are maximum daily use and peak hour and are obtained from the City
of Bozeman Design Standards. Table 2 shows the peaking factors and the resultant flows from
those factors when applied to the average daily demand of 103 gpm.
TABLE 2
PEAKING FACTORS
Flow Designation Peaking Factor Flow (gpm)
Average Day Demand 1 103
Maximum Day Demand 2.3 236.90
Maximum Hour Demand 3 309
The required fire flow for Type V-B structures is 1,500 gpm. With a fire flow demand of 1,500
gpm and a peak hour demand of 309 gpm, a peak hour flow of 1,809 gpm (4.04 cfs) is required.
A Hazen-Williams “C” Factor of 130 was used in the pipe evaluation. The working residual
water pressure shall not be less than 20 psi at any point in the water distribution system under
maximum day plus fire flow. The velocity shall not exceed 15 feet per second through the main
line.
E. Results
Flow analysis of the 8-inch D.I. pipe with a C value of 130 can provide the required 1,809 gpm.
The maximum pipe velocity will not exceed 15 ft/s, as illustrated in the attached WaterCad
Automated Fire Flow Analysis. Using the hydrant flow data listed on page 2 of this report, a
three-point pump curve was generated to simulate existing conditions within the City of
Bozeman water system. The residual pressure is typically used to model the low point on the
pump curve. For this simulation however, the pitot pressure was used as the low point on the
pump curve to ensure a conservative design (residual pressure = 110 psi, pitot pressure = 80 psi).
The minimum system pressure during a fire event is 52 psi, which exceeds the minimum

required pressure of 20 psi. Capacity analysis calculations outlining the capacity of the proposed
8-inch pipe are included in the appendix of this report.
F. Conclusion
Based on this analysis, the proposed 8-inch water main extensions for the proposed Cottonwood
Subdivision provide adequate service to meet the peak hour demand and fire flows for the
development. This project will require the approval of the City Engineer and MDEQ.
