1.1.1 General Information
The proposed Bridger View Planned Unit Development (PUD) is located
southwest of the intersection of Bridger Drive (MT 86) and Story Mill Road.
Bridger View PUD is a 62-home neighborhood consisting of modest
homes with a compact, urban design. This project is located on
approximately 8 acres which was formerly occupied by 40 mobile homes
within the Bridger View Trailer Park. The trailer park was served by a
privately-owned, on-site water supply.
The proposed individual lots are compact with small yards and common
open spaces. Houses will be constructed by the developer (HRDC) and
range in size from 1, 2, and 3 bedrooms roughly proportioned at 25%,
50% and 25% respectively. The subdivision will create 52 residential
single-household lots and 5 duplex lots. A common house is also
proposed for community functions. Five common garages are proposed
which will not have water or sewer facilities.
The project will be served by extension of City of Bozeman water and
sewer mains throughout the project. Individual service lines will be
provided to each residential lot and the common house. City of Bozeman
water and sewer mains currently exist along Bridger Drive to the north of
the project. The previous water and sewer lines serving the trailer park do
not meet City standards and will be abandoned during construction. The
trailer park water supply wells in the northern portion of the site will be
used for irrigation of the project.

1.1.2 Extent of Water Works System
Water supply to the area is from an existing 12” diameter water main
running along the south side of Bridger Drive. This project will provide 8”
water mains looping from and back to, the existing 12” main in Bridger
Drive. Additionally, a water main will be stubbed to Story Mill Road to
allow connection to a future water main in that street. The proposed water
system improvements are shown on the Water Plan (Figure 2) at the end
of this report.
The Bridger View PUD water main extensions have been designed in
accordance with Montana Department of Environmental Quality Circular 1,
and the City of Bozeman Design Standards and Specifications Policy.
Construction specifications will be Montana Public Works Standards and
Specifications (MPWSS), and the City of Bozeman Modifications to
MPWSS.
New water mains will be in water and/or water and sewer easements and
street rights-of-way running through the property. Where water and sewer
are running together the easements are 30’ wide. Where water mains run
individually, a 20’ easement is proposed. These 20’ easements are
narrower than City standards but are located adjacent to common open
Water Mains 4 10/7/2020
space with a public access easement, which can provide additional
access to the water main. A deviation from the City standard is requested
for the 20’ wide water main easements. This deviation allows trees to be
planted in the common open space just outside of the easement. No trees
are proposed within the water and sewer easements, or within 10’ of water
and sewer mains.
New 8” water mains are looped with the exception of a short dead end
main in the center of the project. This main is 120 feet long and will have a
2” blow-off hydrant at the end; this short dead end complies with City
standards.
Each lot will have an individual 1” water service from the main to the front
of the structure, with a curb stop located on the easement or right-of-way
line. Due to the small lot size, a deviation is requested to have 5’
separation between water and sewer services and between services and
trees. This deviation will allow for the trees to be planted in the front yards
of the lots and in common open spaces. Without this deviation, very few
trees could be planted on lots and in common open spaces.
To avoid conflicts with water and sewer services; power and
communication lines are typically run in easements at the rear of the lots.
1.1.3 Alternate Plans
Due to the project’s location within the City of Bozeman, extension of
public mains was the only water supply alternative. Distribution
alternatives were explored, and the proposed design was selected to
increase looping and minimize dead ends. Lastly, during alternative review
it was decided to utilize the existing trailer park wells in the northern
portion of the site for irrigation of the common open spaces and private
lawns. This reduces the impact on the City’s water supply and provides
consistent water conservation throughout the project.
1.1.4. Site Conditions
The Bridger View PUD site is located on the former site of the Bridger
View Trailer Park. The trailer park was served by private sewer mains
connected to the City system and with a privately-owned, on-site water
supply. The existing sewer mains and water lines will be abandoned with
site construction.
The trailer park had some minor cut/fill grading to establish level trailer
sites; but previous site work did not significantly impact the soils since the
mobile homes did not have foundations. Beyond the minor site grading,
the soils are typical of the Bozeman area. A geotechnical evaluation was
Water Mains 5 10/7/2020
conducted and is provided in a separate appendix of this submittal. The
soils can generally be described as a deep topsoil overlaying a fine-
grained subsoil, with gravelly sand material at a depth of approximately 8
feet.
Because basements are proposed for the new homes, groundwater
monitoring was conducted throughout the summer of 2019. Monitoring
results are provided with the geotechnical report. Groundwater depths
were generally greater than 10 feet and should not impact homes or
utilities. The underlying gravelly sand material will provide a suitable
foundation material for pipes and basements.
1.1.5. Water Use Data
Domestic water will be provided by the City of Bozeman Municipal system.
This project is located within the planned service area of the City’s system.
Estimated water use for the Bridger View PUD has been determined
utilizing values provided in City design standards and Facility Plans. Due
to the small, efficiently designed homes with well-supplied irrigation, the
water use is anticipated to be lower than typical. However, for water main
sizing, typical City design flows are utilized.
Because the water system will not supply irrigation, the estimated
residential water use is based on the City of Bozeman design standards
for wastewater generation. Typical design flow water use is 89 gallons per
day (gpd) per capita, with an average population of 2.11 people per home.
Again, because the water system will not supply site irrigation, large
summer peaks are not anticipated. A peaking factor of 4.2:1 was used to
determine the peak hour flow rate. For design purposes, the common
house was estimated to have the same water use as a typical home, for a
total of 63 users. The estimated total project design flow is 11,831 gpd
with a peak flow of 35 gpm.
For estimating annual water use, an average of 64.4 gpd/capita was used
based on values provided in the City of Bozeman Wastewater Facility
Plan. Due to the small, efficiently designed homes, actual use may be
significantly lower. This average water use results in an annual water use
of 9.86 acre-feet of water. Payment of cash-in-lieu of water rights will be
used to provide water rights for this project.
Site irrigation water will be provided by the existing trailer park wells
located in the northern portion of the site. Irrigation lines will provide water
to common open spaces and individual lots. Irrigation systems will be
maintained by the owners’ association. Drought tolerant plants and drip
irrigation systems are proposed to conserve water. It is estimated that a
total of approximately 2.1 acres of turf will be spray irrigated and the
Water Mains 6 10/7/2020
remaining planting beds and trees will be drip irrigated. The systems will
be “high efficiency” and annual water use is estimated at 3.35 acre-
feet/year. This water use is within the combined water right exemption of
10 acre-feet.
1.1.6. Flow Requirements
As stated previously, the peak hour water demand is estimated to be 25
gallons per min (gpm). Fire flows have not been determined yet but will
be in accordance with the Uniform Fire Code. It is anticipated that a fire
flow of 1500 gpm will be required. The fire flow requirement will be the
dominant design constraint for system design.
This test reported static water pressure of 127 psi, and a flow rate of 2,500
gpm with a residual pressure of 86 psi. This test indicates that the water
system network in this area can provide fire flows and peak domestic
demand with very little impact on the system pressures.
Phase 1 of the development includes three new fire hydrants with Phase 2
adding one more fire hydrant and Phase 3 introduces more looping within
the distribution system. A nearby hydrant flow test conducted, and this
test reported static water pressure of 127 psi, and a flow rate of 2,500 gpm
with a residual pressure of 86 psi. This test indicates that the water system
network in this area can provide fire flows and peak domestic demand with
very little impact on the system pressures. The flow test was performed
on two existing fire hydrants as shown on the figure below.
Water Mains 7 10/7/2020
WaterCAD modeling was used to predict available fire flows for the new
hydrant with the completion of each Phase. The WaterCAD model and
results are provided at the end of this report. The WaterCAD model was
calibrated to the existing hydrant flow test. To achieve calibration, the
model reservoir elevation was lowered 11’ to account for friction losses in
the supply line from the reservoir affecting the static pressure available.
The model under predicted the residual pressure measured during the
flow test. However, the flow meter was maxed out at 2,500gpm and the
model appears calibrated if the hydrant flow was increased to 2,625gpm.
The model predicted fire flows over 2,800 gpm for the new fire hydrants in
the development, due to the high static pressures in this area. The 2017
Water Facility Plan did not contemplate a lower pressure zone for this
area, so the water pressure is unlikely to change. This fire flow results in
velocity over 26 feet per second (fps) in the 6” water mains. The City of
Bozeman Design Standards limit design flow velocity to 15 fps in mains.
This velocity limitation would result in a fire flow of about 1400 gpm.

1.1.14 Future Extensions
The water system layout accommodates future water main extensions as
required to complete future system improvements in this area. A water
main will be extended to Story Mill Road to connect with a potential future
water main in that street. Additionally, the water main located in Hillside
Lane may be connected to future water mains serving undeveloped
property to the south.
