Bozeman Ice Well Discharge Pipe Decision Notice
Nov 16, 2023 8:58 AM
To help prevent Bozeman Creek from freezing and creating flooding issues near downtown Bozeman, the City of Bozeman will install a new well and discharge pipe in the City of Bozeman’s right-of-way on Bozeman Creek between Main and Mendenhall streets. The contractor will drill an 8-inch, 300 foot deep well screened with a stainless-steel vee-wire screen. Install new power/service controls for the well in coordination with NorthWestern Energy. Install a 4” discharge pipe and gate valve between well and streambank. Drill cuttings and water will be settled, filtered, and discharged according to City standards. The well will be operated during low-flow, cool months (historically November until late March) with a maximum capacity of 300 gallons per minute.
