1.1.1 General Information
The Housing First Village is a proposed development located on the
western end of Wheat Drive, north of Interstate 90 (I-90) and south of
Mandeville Lane. The Housing First Village is a group of multiple “tiny
homes” approximately 200 square feet each, with some basic communal
infrastructure in a compact, urban style. The project is located at 2007
Wheat Drive on Lot 2 of the Wheat Commercial Subdivision Amended and
is development ready. Future phases may occur on Tract A,
approximately 5.4 acres, located immediately west of Lot 2 (see Figure 1).
City of Bozeman water main runs within Wheat Drive right-of-way to the
east of the site, as well as just west of the property boundary in a north-
south alignment.
The project includes the construction of 19 individual tiny homes. This
includes 16 typical units and 3 ADA units. The development will also
feature a drive aisle, 5 parking spaces, a drivable surface running the
length of the development, and a communal courtyard space. The
individual units will remain on the common lot.
Drinking water supply for the project will be supplied by a connection to
the 12” main that runs just beyond the western property boundary and
extending an 8” water main into the site. From the 8” main, a 2” water
main will be extended into a meter riser room. From the meter riser room,
the 2” water main will be extended throughout the site. Individual
connections will be made to each of the “tiny homes” from this main
extension.

1.1.2 Extent of Water Works System
Water supply in the area consists of an existing 8” water main running
along Wheat Drive east of the site, and a 12” main that runs along the
western boundary of the site. Housing First Village’s water supply will
come from tying into the lower pressure 12” water main to the west. As
illustrated on attached Figure “Sheet C2.0”, a new 8” main will extend east
from the existing 12” main along the drive aisle for approximately 100 feet
terminating at a fire hydrant. A 2” tap will be made into the proposed new
8” water main that will run south into the riser room for metering. This 2”
Type K copper water main is required for proper water meter sizing. After
the angle stop, meter, backflow preventor, and pressure reducing valve,
the 2” copper line will reenter the ground and extend throughout the site.
The 19 individual connections will be made to this approximately 260’ run,
which aligns with the western edge of the drivable surface. A blowoff
hydrant will be installed at the end of the 2” water main.
The Housing First Village water main extension has 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.
Water and sewer utility easements are proposed for the sites water and
sewer mains. The easements are variable width but at no point are they
Water Mains 4 1/13/2021
less than 30 feet in width. Easement extents are shown on the attached
Sheet C2.0.
Each unit on the property will have an individual 3/4” service connection at
the front of the structure, with a curb-stop located on or near the easement
line. Due to the large number of individual water and sewer connections
required, a 5’ separation between water and sewer services is necessary.
This non-standard service separation will allow water and sewer
connections to the tiny homes (some models only being 10-ft wide) and
allow for trees to be planted in the front yards and common open spaces.
Without this non-standard service separation, very few trees could be
planted on the site.
To avoid conflict with water and sewer services, franchise utilities will run
behind the homes in a 15’ utility easement along the western and southern
borders of the site and through open space along the eastern edge of the
site.
Future phases of development to the west, in Tract A, would require main
extensions. Adjacent lots in the Wheat Commercial Subdivision have
already been developed.
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. Several different
distribution arrangements were considered, including connecting to the 8”
main running along Wheat Drive. Looping the mains was considered but
the site is located at the boundary of the City of Bozeman’s Northeast and
Northwest water distribution pressure zones and would require a pressure
reducing valve. The primary challenge for this development is the large
number of individual connections in such a relatively small area, with the
individual homes remaining on a single common lot. Ultimately, this design
was chosen for its effectiveness at facilitating and arranging these
individual connections.
1.1.4. Site Conditions
The Housing First Village site is located on a currently undeveloped lot of
the existing Wheat Commercial Subdivision Amended. The site is
considered “development ready” as it has already undergone the
subdivision review and approval process. All other lots in this subdivision
have been developed. 8” water and sewer mains currently run along
Wheat Drive, directly east of the site. A 12” water main runs in a north-
south alignment just west of the property boundary.
Water Mains 5 1/13/2021
The soil on the site is characterized by an approximately 1’ thick layer of
dark silty clay topsoil underlain by an approximately 2’ fine-grained deposit
of light brown silt and lean clay with abundant roots. Below this, flood and
windblown deposits of silt and lean clay extend to a depth of
approximately 9’. This soil can be susceptible to excessive settlement and
even collapse under saturated conditions. A layer of dense alluvial sandy
gravel underlies the flood and windblown deposits. A geotechnical
evaluation of the site was conducted and is provided as a separate
appendix with this submittal.
Groundwater was observed in the test pits during geotechnical
investigation of the site at a depth of approximately 9’. For this reason, two
monitoring wells were installed to a depth of approximately 10’ and
groundwater monitoring was conducted during the high groundwater
season of 2020. Both groundwater monitoring wells were dry in all
subsequent visits. Groundwater is not anticipated to impact utilities, and
the structures proposed on site do not have basements. Groundwater
monitoring results are included with the Geotechnical report and are
provided separately in the appendices.
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 Housing First Village has been determined
utilizing values provided in City Design Standards and Facility Plans.
There are characteristics of this development that make estimating water
use somewhat atypical. The units on this site are very small. Typically, an
average population per residence of 2.11 is used in the City of Bozeman
for water use estimates. A typical home in Bozeman is approximately
1800 square feet. However, the average unit at Housing First Village has
an interior floor space of approximately 200 square feet. Additionally, as
the development serves a transient population on a night-by-night basis,
occupancy is subject to fluctuation. For water use estimates, 1.25
residents per unit with a year-round 100% occupancy rate has been
assumed. A peaking factor of 8:1 was used to determine the peak hour
flow rate. The estimated total project design flow is 998 gpd with a peak
flow of 47.5 gpm.
For estimating annual water use, an average of 42.0 gpd/capita was used
based on values provided by the City of Bozeman. Due to the very small
homes on the site, as well as the possibility of inconsistent occupancy,
actual water use may be significantly lower. Annual domestic water use is
estimated to be 1.12 acre-feet of water. Payment of cash-in-lieu of water
Water Mains 6 1/13/2021
rights will be used to provide water rights for this project, for a cost of
$10,800.
Irrigation will be supplied by connection to City of Bozeman water service.
Irrigation lines will provide water to the trees and open spaces on the site.
The irrigation system will be maintained by HRDC. Drought tolerant plants
and a drip irrigation system are proposed to conserve water.
Approximately 0.57 acres will be irrigated by spray irrigation. Drip irrigation
and tree bubblers will be used for planters and trees. The irrigation system
will be “high-efficiency” and will use an estimated 0.55 acre-feet per year.
1.1.6. Flow Requirements
As stated previously, the peak hour water demand is estimated to be 9.4
gallons per min (gpm). A flow of 1500 gpm is required for adequate fire
suppression water supply. The fire flow requirement will be the dominant
design constraint for system design.
Fire flow testing was performed on a hydrant near the site during the City
of Bozeman’s 2017 Water Facility Plan Update. The test was performed
on the City Hydrant “653” located on Wheat Drive—approximately 150 ft
east of the project site. The test reported a static water pressure of 117.14
psi, and a flow rate of 1,600 gpm with a residual water pressure of 106.31
psi. This indicates that the water system network in this area can provide
fire flows as well as peak domestic demand with little impact on the
system pressures.
We received pressure information in the site from the Engineering
Department which stated the pressure in the 12” main that this
development is tapping into has a residual pressure of 117 psi at a node
at the southwest corner of the site. Hydraulic calculations show flows of
1500 gpm from the new fire hydrant, with just a 4 psi drop in pressure
The internal water main extension will be a 2” Type K copper main after a
master water meter, pressure reducing valve and backflow preventer
assembly in an on-site riser room. The pressure will be stepped down to
80 psi before supplying the 19 individual units. The peak flow is only
estimated to be 47.5 gpm for the development, which results in line
velocities of 4.85 ft/sec. The 2” tap was selected for the most appropriate
meter for the anticipated flows. Flushing velocities of 2.5 ft/sec can be
achieved while keeping velocities in the 2” main under 10 ft/sec. See
enclosed hydraulic calculations.

way. The sewer main will be extended west along the drive aisle then
south along the alignment of the drivable surface in a shared 30’ water
and sewer easement. Individual connections sewer connections will be
made from the homes to this main extension. There will be a single
crossing of water and sewer main on this project, on the northern end of
the drive-able surface. Appropriate minimum separation at this crossing is
included in design.
