WATER SYSTEM DESIGN REPORT
A. General
This design report will give an overview of the proposed water main extension for the development
of the Bozeman CoHousing project. The proposed improvements are anticipated to be constructed
during the fall of 2021. No phasing is proposed for the water system; however the units within the
development will be phased. Once the water main is constructed and approved, the main will
become a part of the City of Bozeman system.
The following references were used in the preparation of this report:
a. COB Design Standards and Specifications Policy, 2017. Addendum #6
b. COB Modifications to Montana Public Works Standard Specifications (MPWSS).
c. WQB Circular No. 1
d. City of Bozeman Zoning Map
e. City of Bozeman Water Facility Plan
f. 2015 International Fire Code
Existing System
The proposed water main extension will be served by the existing City of Bozeman water
distribution system. The proposed main will connect to the existing 8” DI main in Wagonwheel
Rd. The proposed main branches to the north and east near STA 3+00 and will dead-end at the
north property line with a blow-off assembly. The east branch of the water main will terminate at
a fire hydrant. This will allow for future extension of the water main to the north and also permit
for a looped connection once the future main is constructed. The following information was
obtained from the City of Bozeman:
Hydrant ID#: 593
Static Pressure: 60 psi
Residual Pressure: 58 psi
Hydrant ID#: 589
Pitot Pressure: 44 psi
Hydrant Flow (2.5” Nozzle): 1110 gpm
The two hydrants listed above were used to create a three-point pump curve to model the existing
connection to the City system. The first point uses the static pressure of the system when the flow
is equal to zero. The second point uses the maximum day demand available fire flow at 20 psi
(given above). The third point was determined by selecting an arbitrary pressure (55 psi) between
the static pressure and the minimum pressure of 20 psi. An example calculation for Hydrant ID
#593 is given below:

Page 2 of 3
Qr = Qt[(Ps – Pm)/(Ps – Pr)]0.54
Qr = 1,110 [(60 – 25)/(60 – 20)]0.54
Qr = 1,033 gpm at 25 psi
Qt = Maximum Day Demand Available Fire Flow @ 20 psi
Qr = Fire Flow at Desired Fire Flow Residual Pressure
Ps = Stat
ic Pressure
Pm = Desired Residual Pressure = 55 psi
Pr = Minimum Residual Pressure = 20 psi
B. Proposed Water System
The proposed water main extension for Bozeman CoHousing consists of approximately 678 linear
feet of 8” ductile iron pipe. The layout of the proposed water main meets the COB design criteria
and will be located within a 30’ foot wide public utility easement and separated from the proposed
sanitary sewer main by a minimum of 10 feet horizontally. The fire hydrant will be installed per
COB design criteria and will not exceed the recommended spacing.
C. Capacity Analysis
The proposed multi-phase project consists of a total of 43 residential units along with a common
house (10 - 4 Plexes and 3 ADU’s), which sits on a 5.31-acre R-3 (Residential Medium Density
District) zoned land. An estimation of the water flow rate was based on the City of Bozeman’s
design standards and specification policy, which suggests using an average daily flow rate of 2.11
people per dwelling unit and 170-gallons per capita per day. Applied to the total number of units
in the development the required water flow rate is calculated:
Full Build Out:
൬43 units ∗ 2.11
residents
unit ∗ 170
gallons
capita day ൰ = 15,424 gpd
Based on these parameters, the phased development will have an estimated water usage of 15,424
gpd (10.71 gpm) at full build out.
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 1 shows the peaking factors and the resultant flows
from those factors when applied to the average daily demand.

TABLE 1
PEAKING FACTORS
Flow Designation Peaking Factor Flow (gpm)
Average Day Demand 1 10.7
Maximum Day Demand 2.3 24.6
Maximum Hour Demand 3 32.1
The proposed buildings to be constructed include 4 plexes along with three (3) ADU’s above
garages in addition to a common house.
The building square footage ranges from 3,398 sf to 4,866 sf for the 4-plexes. The common house
(includes one 4 plex) is 15,431 sf. The units are expected to be type V-B construction without fire
sprinklers. The only building that will require fire sprinklers is the common house with the
attached 4 plex. A Type V-B 15,431 sf building with an automatic sprinkler system requires 1,500
gpm for a 3-hour flow duration per the 2015 International Fire Code, Table B105.1(2). A Type
V-B 4,866 sf building without an automatic sprinkler system requires 2,000 gpm for a 2-hour flow
duration.
Results
Based on the analysis outlined above, the required minimum fire flow is 2,000 gpm and the
maximum hour demand is 32.1 gpm. The maximum hour demand was distributed throughout each
water service within the subdivision. The attached WaterCAD analysis was designed to
incorporate the maximum hour demand throughout the system. A fire flow analysis was performed
at each node throughout the system (including the base peak hour demand) where a building has a
potential fire flow demand. The flow analysis shows that an 8-inch DI pipe can provide the
development with the required flow of 2,000 gpm in addition to the max. day demand and remain
above the minimum pressure of 20 psi. See attached flow analysis for calculations.
D. Conclusion
Based on this analysis, the proposed 8-inch ductile iron water main serving the CoHousing
residential development provides adequate service to meet the 43-unit peak hour demand and fire
flows requirements for the development. The water main design is consistent with the City of
Bozeman Water Facility Plan.
This project will require the approval of the City of Bozeman Engineer and MDEQ.
