NEXUS POINT DEVELOPMENT
WATER SYSTEM DESIGN REPORT
A. General
This design report will give an overview of the proposed water main extension for the development
of Nexus Point Multi-Unit Residential & Office Building Development Infrastructure
Improvements. The proposed Phase 1 improvements are anticipated to be constructed during the
fall of 2019. 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, which will be looped. The two connection locations are the existing stub of
Lantern Lane and future stub at intersection of Lantern Lane and S 21st Avenue, which will
continue south and connect to the intersection of Graf Street and S 21st Avenue. The following
information was obtained by the City of Bozeman at the intersection of Lantern Lane and
Enterprise Boulevard.
Fire Hydrants: 2077
Static Pressure: 65 psi
Pitot Pressure: 56 psi
Residual pressure: 57 psi
Hydrant discharge: 1,250 gpm from 2.5” port
Distribution Main Capacity – Fire flow at minimum residual pressure
Qr = Qt[(Ps – Pm)/(Ps – Pt)]0.54
Qr = 1,250 [(65 –20)/(65 – 56]0.54
Qr = 2,981 gpm at 20 psi
Qt = Hydrant Discharge during Test
Qr = Fire Flow at Residual Pressure
Ps = Static Pressure
Pm = Minimum Residual Pressure = 20 psi
Pr = Residual Pressure
Pt = Pitot Pressure

B. Proposed Water System
The proposed water main extension for the Nexus Point development consists of approximately
2,499 linear feet of 8” ductile iron pipe that will connect to the existing water main stub on Lantern
Lane and at the future intersection of Lantern Lane and S 21st Avenue, which is to be installed with
the Graf Street Apartment project. The layout of the proposed water main meets the COB design
criteria and will be located within the easements/right of way and separated from the proposed
sanitary sewer main by a minimum of 10 feet horizontally. Fire hydrants will be installed per COB
design criteria and will not exceed the recommended distance.
C. Capacity Analysis
The Nexus Point development water main extension is proposed for the development of the 14-
buildings comprised of 262-units (120 units in Phase 1 & 142 in Phase 2), 2 – office buildings and
1- café unit which sits on an estimated 19.99 acres of R-O (Residential Office 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 240 units, the required water flow rate is
calculated:
(𝟐𝟓𝟐 𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐫𝐫∗2.11 residents
unit ∗170 gallons
capita day )= 𝟗𝟐,𝟗𝟓𝟗 gpd
The 2 future office buildings consist of 11,300 sf and 9,900 sf at full build out. Based on a
conservative basis the office buildings will use 0.273 gpd/sf. per water supply planning book by
David W. Prasifka. Taking these factors into consideration the office buildings will contribute:
(0.273 gallons per day
square feet ∗(11,300 +9,900)square feet )= 12,985 gpd
One building located within phase 2, is set to include a café/restaurant. Based on a conservative
basis the café will use 55 gpd/unit per water supply planning book by David W. Prasifka. Taking
this into consideration the café will contribute:
(𝟓𝟓 𝐠𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐧𝐫 𝐧𝐜𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐲
𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐫∗𝟓𝟗 𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐫/𝐧𝐜𝐜𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐫𝐫 )=𝟐,𝟓𝟗𝟓 𝐠𝐧𝐜
Based on these parameters, the development at full build out (262 units + 2 office buildings + cafe)
will have an estimated water usage of 110,759 gpd (76.91 gpm). The main will connect to the
existing City of Bozeman system and will serve the future Nexus Point apartment buildings.
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 of 76.91 gpm.

Based on communication with the architect, five types of buildings will be installed and will
consist of two (2) – multi-floor office buildings, six (6) – 12 plex 2-bedroom units, and two (2) –
24 plex 2-bedroom units, three (3) – 36 plex 1 & 2 – bedroom units and one (1) - 34 plex 1 & 2
bedroom units that includes a Café, along with a club house for a total of 15 individual future
buildings. The square footage for each type of building are as follows: 12 Plex = 12,552sf, 24 Plex
= 24,046sf, 34 Plex/Cafe = 48,692sf, 36 Plex = 48,731sf, and the club house = 9,989sf. The units
are expected to be type V-A and V-B construction with fire sprinklers. A Type V-A 48,731 sf
building requires 4,000 gpm for a 4-hour flow duration per the 2015 International Fire Code, Table
B105.1(2). The flow capacity for the largest building was chosen to be more conservative. Based
on the 2015 International Fire Code’s Table B105.2, the 4,000 gpm fire flow can be reduced but
shall not be less than the minimum of 1,500 gpm.
Results
Based on the analysis outlined above, the required minimum fire flow is 1,500 gpm and the
maximum hour demand is 230.73 gpm. The combination of these results is a maximum hour flow
of 1,730.73 gpm. 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 max. 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 1,730.73 gpm 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 Nexus Point
residential development extension provides adequate service to meet the 262-unit, 2–Office
Building and 1-Cafe peak hour demand and fire flows requirements for the development. The
water main was designed on conservative premise for future development. For instance, only one
connection point (intersection of Lantern Lane and Enterprise Blvd.) was modeled, when in reality
there will be two connection points for the system. 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.
