Introduction:
This water and sewer design report for the proposed development, The Northern, has been
prepared to present the fire flow demand requirements, domestic water flow demand
requirements, and the sewer peak flow contributions to the surrounding public infrastructure
utilities. This report will also present the capacity of the proposed sanitary sewer service line,
the proposed sanitary sewer main, and the existing fire flow measurements at the existing fire
hydrant adjacent to the site. All demand and flows calculations have been calculated in
accordance with the City of Bozeman Design and Construction Standards (Revised October
2024).
The proposed development is located at 621 W. Mendenhall Street, at the corner of N. 7th
Avenue and W. Mendenhall Street in Bozeman, Montana. The site contains of 0.46 acres and
will consist of a new, mixed use 7-story multifamily apartment building with structured parking.
The proposed fire and water service lines will connect to the existing 8” water main in W.
Mendenhall Street and the sewer service will connect to a proposed 8” sanitary sewer main in
W. Mendenhall Street that will be improved as part of the development.
The existing 6” sanitary sewer main adjacent to the site in W. Mendenhall Street has been
determined to be insufficient to support the development during the concept submittal. As a
result, an 8” sewer main replacement will be required in W. Mendenhall Street from N. 7th
Avenue east to N. 5th Avenue.
Water Design Report:
The proposed water improvements consist of a 6” diameter fire service line and a 4” diameter
domestic water service line that will extend from the fire room located on the south face of the
proposed building to the existing 8” water main in W. Mendenhall Street. A fire department
connection (FDC) will be located on the south face of the proposed building within 100’ of the
existing fire hydrant located at the corner of N. 7th Avenue and W. Mendenhall Street. It should
be noted that the existing fire hydrant will need to be removed and reset on the existing fire
hydrant lateral in the proposed boulevard adjacent to W. Mendenhall Street.
The water demands have been calculated in accordance with Section 4.2.4 of the City of
Bozeman Design and Construction Standards. The domestic water average day demand was
determined to be 24,022 GPD (16.7 GPM) and the maximum day demand was determined to
be 55,250 GPD (38.4 GPM) using a peaking factor of 2.30 per Table 4.2.3. The peak hour
demand was determined to be 50.05 GPM using a peaking factor of 3.0 per Table 4.2.3. Water
demand calculations can be found in Appendix A.

The required fire flow was determined for the proposed building with construction types of I-A
and I-B based on the total square footage of the three largest successive floors per Section
B104.3 in the 2021 IFC Appendix B. The area of the three largest successive floors was
calculated to be 51,204 square feet, resulting in a fire flow of 2,500 GPM per Table B105.1.
Because the building will be fully sprinklered, the fire flow can be reduced to 25% of this value
resulting in a fire flow of 625 GPM per Table B105.2. A minimum fire flow value of 1,500 GPM
has been used per note b in Table B105.2. The number of hydrants required to provide the
minimum fire flow will be 1 with a flow of 1,750 GPM per IFC Appendix C, Table C102.1. Fire
hydrant flow tests were requested for hydrant #2748 adjacent to the site and a resulting flow of
1,800 GPM at 114.07 psi was measured, which demonstrates that the fire flow requirements
can be met by existing fire hydrant #2748. Hydrant flow data can be found in Appendix B.
The water demand analysis performed for the proposed site has resulted in a fire flow for the
requirement of 1,750 GPM along with the peak hour domestic demand of 50.05 GPM, which
can be combined for a resulting total demand of approximately 1,800 GPM. Based on this total
demand and the flow results from hydrant #2748 adjacent to the site, it has been determined
that the existing water main and fire hydrant will be sufficient to meet all water demands for the
proposed development by providing 1,800 GPM at 114.07 psi, which exceeds the minimum
residual pressure of 20 psi.
Sewer Design Report:
The proposed sewer improvements consist of a 8” diameter sewer service line that will extend
from the proposed building along the south face to the proposed 8” sewer main in W.
Mendenhall Street.
The sewer demands have been calculated in accordance with Section 5.2.4 of the City of
Bozeman Design and Construction Standards. The average daily sanitary flow was determined
to be 11,459 GPD (8.0 GPM) and the maximum flow was determined to be 47,741 GPD (33.2
GPM) with a peak hour factor of 4.17. Sanitary sewer demand calculations can be found in
Appendix A.
A pipe capacity analysis has been performed to determine that a 8” sewer service sloped at
1.04% has a capacity of 1.57 cfs or 705.95 GPM which is far above the calculated flows for the
proposed development (33.2 GPM), therefore the proposed sewer service will adequately
convey building flows to the 8” sanitary sewer main in W. Mendenhall Street. A pipe capacity

analysis was also performed for the proposed sanitary sewer main in W. Mendenhall Street to
determine that the 8” sewer main sloped at 0.5% has a capacity of 1.09 cfs or 489.19 GPM.
Hydroflow Express outputs that demonstrate the sanitary sewer line capacities can be found in
Appendix A.
Conclusion:
As demonstrated above, the proposed 6” fire service line and 4” domestic service line will
adequately serve the mixed use 7-story multifamily apartment building with structured parking
that is proposed for the site at 621 W. Mendenhall Street in Bozeman, Montana. The proposed
sanitary sewer flow information above also provides flow information that can be input into the
City of Bozeman sanitary sewer model to verify that the proposed flows can be adequately
conveyed in the surrounding sanitary sewer network.
