BEALL TOWNHOMES Water Design Report
1.0 INTRODUCTION AND PROJECT
DESCRIPTION
The proposed Beall Townhome project is located at 1608 W. Beall in Bozeman, Montana. The project
consists of 11 townhome units within two buildings. Six of the townhome units will have 2-bedrooms and
five of the townhome units will have 3-bedrooms.
The project will require tapping into an existing water main which runs east to west within Beall St. The
existing main is 12-inch diameter cast iron. A new water main extension will be built south into the project
site and will be 8-inch diameter. The new water main has one dead-end on the south side of the project
site. This dead-end will have a blowoff valve installed. The water main will be installed in the City
standard location and located 10 feet or more away from the proposed sewer main. Per field inspection,
the approximate depth to the top of the water main is 6 feet.
Existing fire hydrants are located near the site at the intersection of W. Beall St. and N 17th Ave. and at
the intersection of W. Beall St. and N 16th Ave. Fire hydrants are also located southwest of the site, per
City GIS. Due to the proximity of existing hydrants near the site, no new hydrants are proposed as part
of this development. The following image shows existing City water infrastructure from the City’s GIS
website.
BEALL TOWNHOMES Water Design Report
This design report summarizes the projected average, maximum day, and peak water demands for the
development.
2.0 WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
SIZING
A WaterCAD analysis has been provided with this report to analyze the new main extension. The
connection to the existing system has been modeled as a pump curve using data obtained from the City
of Bozeman Water Department including static, residual, and pitot pressures. This data was used to
develop the pump curve using a connection point to model the system (see below).
An average daily demand of 170 gallons per capita per day unit has been used per City of Bozeman
Design Standards and Specifications Policy. Water main sizing has been in accordance with the City of
Bozeman Design Standards.
Design Parameters:
Average daily use: 170 gallons/capita/day
Average Population Density: 2.11 persons/dwelling unit
Minimum Fire Hydrant Flow: 1,500 gpm
Residual Pressure Required: 20 psi for Fire Flow
Average Day Demand: Peaking Factor = 1.0
Maximum Day Demand: Peaking Factor = 2.3
Maximum Hour Demand: Peaking Factor = 3.0
Proposed Residential: 11 units (2.11 persons/DU)
Average residential demand: 170 gpcpd x 11 units x 2.11 persons/DU = 3,945.7 gpd = 2.7 gpm
Total Average Day Demand: 2.7 gpm
Maximum Day Demand: (2.7 gpm x 2.3) = 6.2 gpm
Peak Hour Demand: (2.7 gpm x 3.0) = 8.1 gpm
BEALL TOWNHOMES Water Design Report
As part of the proposed development, WGM reached out to the City’s Water/Sewer District regarding
system pressure and hydrant flow testing. On November 11, 2021, the City of Bozeman conducted a fire
hydrant flow test on GIS hydrant ID #464 southwest of the project site with an adjacent main of 8-inch
diameter cast iron. Results from this test were provided in Microsoft Excel and are attached to this report.
The data modeled a hydrant curve with available flow and residual pressure. This data was used to
create the WaterCAD model as described below. The hydrant curve is shown below.
The flow data is summarized as follows:
Static Pressure: 127.7 psi (pressure at 0 gpm flow)
Residual Pressure: 117 psi (at 1,500 gpm)
Flow Rate: 1500 gpm (minimum per City)
Note the available Flow at minimum residual pressure required (20 psi): ~6,000 gpm
BEALL TOWNHOMES Water Design Report
3.0 HYDRAULIC ANALYSIS
The method used to model the connection was by using a reservoir and fictitious pump with a 3-point
characteristic pump curve based on the City hydrant flow data. The following equation based on the
Hazen Williams equation was used to create a pump curve for system modeling:
Qr = Qf * [(Hr / Hf) ^ 0.54]
Where:
Qr = Flow available at the desired fire flow residual pressure
Qf = Flow during the test
Hr = Static Pressure minus the chosen Design Pressure
Hf = Static Pressure minus the residual pressure during the flow test
The three-point pump curve points were as follows: shutoff: 0 gpm and 293 feet of head (static pressure),
1,200 gpm and 277.8 feet of head (design), and max operating: 1,500 gpm and 269 feet of head (residual
pressure).
All pipes in the system were modeled as ductile iron class 51 with a roughness coefficient of 130. A
hydrant was placed at the end of the line in the proposed model to analyze the impacts of available
pressures and flows during a peak hour demand event. This was determined to be a conservative
method to analyze flows. A minimum of 1,500 gpm at 20 psi was used for the hydrant in this scenario.
The results of the attached model show that the proposed 8-inch ductile iron pipe extension provides
adequate capacity to serve the development under the peak hour demand.
