Hidden Creek Residential Development
Sewer Demand Report
Summary
This report outlines the wastewater daily flow analysis calculations for the proposed Hidden
Creek Residential Development. The development is located on a 5.35-acre lot located southwest
of the intersection between Juniper Street and Oak Park Drive. The project is proposed to consist
of five apartment buildings with supportive services and infrastructure creating 182 new
residential units and the south extension of Oak Park Drive. The City will review the sewer
demands calculated in this report and evaluate the adjacent system’s capacity to accommodate
the estimated demands.
Proposed Project Demand
An existing 24” concrete sewer main runs along the East boundary line of the property. An
additional existing 18” concrete sewer main runs west-east across the northern half of the
property. For Buildings 1, 3, 4, and 5, 6” PVC sewer service lines will branch off the existing
24” concrete sewer main which will be located under the Oak Park Drive extension. Buildings 1,
3, 4, and 5 will consist of 24, 34, 36 and 52 residential units respectively. The proposed 6” PVC
sewer service for Building 2 will extend from the existing 18” concrete sewer main. Building 2
will consist of 36 residential units. The proposed sewer services will range in length from 16’ to
162’. A 6” PVC sewer service stub will be installed off the existing 24” concrete sewer
extending to the County lot to allow for future connection. Two 6” PVC sewer service stubs will
be installed off the existing 24” concrete sewer extending to the CLT lot to allow for future
connection. All 6” PVC sewer services will be run at a minimum slope of 1/8 inch per foot.
The wastewater demand of the HRDC lot was calculated using the values per City of Bozeman
Design Standards which outlines an average daily domestic flow rate of 64.4 gallons per capita
per day at 2.17 people per dwelling unit with the proposed number of 182 residential units plus
an additional infiltration rate of 150-gallon/acre/day.
(64.4 gallons per capita
day ∗2.17 people
dwelling unit ∗182 dwelling units)=𝟎𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐠𝐩𝐝
The sewer demand of the HRDC lot is predicted to be an average daily flow of 25,434 gpd or
17.7 gpm.
As the development plans of the County and CLT lots are not fully known, the average daily
demand for these lots was estimated on a per acre basis using the duty factor for R-4 zoning of
2,800 gpad.

County Lot:
(2,800 average daily demand per day
acre ∗0.18 acres)=𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐠𝐩𝐝
The County lot is predicted to have an average daily flow of 504 gpd or 0.35 gpm.
CLT Lot:
(2,800 average daily demand per day
acre ∗0.43 acres)=𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐠𝐩𝐝
The CLT lot is predicted to have an average daily flow of 1,204 gpd or 0.84 gpm.
An infiltration rate of 150 gallons/acre/day was added to the estimated domestic flow. The base
infiltration was applied to the 5.20 acre gross area of the development and was calculated to
contribute 780 gpd or 0.54 gpm.
The total development is predicted to have an average daily flow of 27,922 gpd or 19.4 gpm.
A peaking factor based on the estimated population of development was calculated to account for
peak flow. The HRDC Lot, based on 182 dwelling units multiplied by a density of 2.17 residents
per unit is estimated to have a population of 395 persons. As the development plans of the
County and CLT lots are not fully known, an equivalent population for these lots was calculated
by dividing the total design flow of these lots by domestic per capita flow. Based on a combined
design flow of 1,708 gpd and a domestic per capita flow of 64.4 gpd, the County and CLT lots
are estimated to contribute 27 persons to the development’s population resulting in a total site
population of
(𝑃𝑚𝑎𝑥
𝑃𝐴𝑣𝑒
)=18 +𝑃.5
4 +𝑃.5 =18 +.𝟎𝟎𝟎.5
4 +.𝟎𝟎𝟎.5 =𝟎.𝟎𝟎
(P = Population/thousands)
A peaking factor of 4.01 was calculated and when applied to the average daily demand
concluded a peak hour sewer demand of 111,967 gpd or 77.8 gpm.
This project will require the approval of the City of Bozeman Engineer.
