ENGINEERING DESIGN REPORT – SEWER & WATER
Rev. JULY 2026
Purpose and Introduction
The purpose of this report is to explain how water and sanitary sewer improvements will
be designed to meet the City of Bozeman requirements and Montana Public Works
Standard Specifications (MPWSS) to provide service to a new multi-family affordable
housing building near Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana.
The project is located at the NE corner of S. 19th Avenue and West Kagy Boulevard. The
parcel is comprised of Lot 7 and Tract B of the Remington Addition to the City of
Bozeman totaling 3.36 acres in size. The property is currently developed with a church
building, parking lot, and landscaped open space.
Proposed site improvements include the demolition of the existing building and
construction of a new multi-story residential building. The new building will run along the
west and south sides of the lot with parking to the north.
On-site infrastructure improvements will include the relocation of a fire hydrant and the
addition of another fire hydrant. No off-site infrastructure improvements are currently
anticipated.
Design Report
Water
The property has a live water service connected to the existing church building and an
irrigation well. The domestic service will be abandoned at its connection point with the
water main in conjunction with demolition activities at the site. The existing well on the
east side of the property will be properly abandoned.
A new 6-inch (est.) domestic water service and 6-inch (est.) fire service line will be
extended to the new building from the existing 8-inch water main that crosses the
northwest portion of the site. Final water service sizing will be verified by the mechanical
and fire suppression engineers in accordance with the Uniform Plumbing Code, actual
fixture unit counts, and NFPA. The services will be Class 51 ductile iron and be installed
per the City of Bozeman Design Standards and Modifications to Montana Public Works
Standard Specifications (MPWSS).
The proposed water and fire services are approximately 250’-260’ in length, exceeding
the 150’ maximum identified in the City’s Design and Construction Standards. A waiver
request to allow longer service lengths for this project is being submitted to the City
Engineering Department with supporting calculations.
The estimated domestic water and fire flow demands for the project are summarized in
Table 1 below. Supporting assumptions and calculations in accordance with C.O.B.
Design and Construction Standards Section 4.2 are provided in Appendix A.

Table 1:
Estimated New Water Demands
Average Day Max. Day Peak Hour
New Building Demand 47,458 gpd 75.8 gpm 98.9 gpm
The fire flow requirement for the new building is 1,938 gpm based on building size and
construction type as determined following International Fire Code Appendix B criteria.
Fire hydrant flow reports were provided by the City Engineering Department for the
nearest existing fire hydrants to confirm available fire flows. The hydrant flow data for
Hydrant #1051 adjacent to the new building service connections indicates an available
fire flow of 8,000 gpm in the water main before dropping below a residual pressure of 20
psi. The project fire flow determination and fire hydrant flow reports are provided in
appendix A.
Sewer
The property has a live sewer service connected to the existing church building. The
domestic service will be abandoned at its connection point with the sewer main in
conjunction with demolition activities at the site.
Two new 8” (est.) sewer services are proposed to extend from the new building to the
existing sewer manhole on the north side of the site that runs north down Lloyd Street to
the 15” interceptor sewer at Lincoln Street. Final service sizing will be verified by the
mechanical engineer in accordance with the Uniform Plumbing Code and actual fixture
unit counts. The new 8” sewer service lines will be SDR-26 PVC and will be installed per
the City of Bozeman Design Standards and Modifications to Montana Public Works
Standard Specifications (MPWSS). This will require connections to existing manhole
#H0701 at the uphill end of the existing Lloyd Street sewer main.
The estimated sewer demands for the project are summarized in Table 2 below.
Supporting assumptions and calculations in accordance with C.O.B. Design and
Construction Standards Section 5.2 are provided in Appendix B.
