Update to the City of Bozeman Wastewater Collection System Facility Plan | Community Platform

This platform is intended to provide an opportunity for community engagement and to gather input on how to improve this update to the City of Bozeman Wastewater Collection System Facility Plan.

What is the Wastewater Collection System Facility Plan?

Periodically, the City undertakes a comprehensive planning effort to help guide system improvements so that adequate service is provided to the growing community. These planning efforts are referred to as Facility Plans.

In general, the Wastewater Collection System Facility Plan is intended to serve as the principal framework for capital improvement planning, budgeting, and provide City staff with near-term and long-range planning improvements surrounding the City’s collection system.

Why is the Wastewater Collection System Plan being updated?

The City of Bozeman (City) owns and operates a wastewater collection system serving its residents, businesses, and industry. The City continues to experience rapid growth, with an average estimated annual population growth of 4% over the past 15 years. This growth and aging infrastructure present many challenges to maintaining, operating, and expanding the wastewater collection system.

The previous Wastewater Collection System Facility Plan was completed in 2015. Since the 2015 wastewater facility plan, many of the improvements identified in the facility plan have been completed.

As development pressure continues to grow and existing infrastructure ages, the wastewater collection system model and reference planning documents require a comprehensive update to ensure the City can continue to meet its level of service goals and accommodate growth.
