Introduction

The City of Bozeman is developing a Stormwater Facilities Plan update to improve existing stormwater policies, plan future capital infrastructure investments, and improve collaboration with other City projects. The need for an updated Stormwater Facilities Plan is in response to rapid community growth, evolving regulations, changing industry best practices, and acquired storm sewer system information. The updated Stormwater Facilities Plan will help ensure the Stormwater Division continues to protect public safety, improve water quality, and comply with state and federal regulations.

Project Goals

The goals of an updated Stormwater Facilities Plan include:

  • Update and improve stormwater post-construction policies,
  • Plan future water quality improvement projects,
  • Plan future flood control infrastructure projects,
  • Offer state and federal regulatory compliance guidance,
  • Identify future staffing needs, and
  • Provide Stormwater Utility funding recommendations.
