Notice to Plumbers

When sewer services are being cleaned or root cut, debris from those procedures can be pushed into the main causing a blockage.  We are asking that if there is a concern that this issue could have occurred to contact our office immediately and we will respond to flush the main.  This service is available 24 hours a day and free of charge and it ensures that the main will not backup.  We can be reached Monday through Friday 8:00am to 5:00pm at 582-3200 or after hours and holidays at 582-2000 extension 2.

Information for contractors is available from the links below.  Questions may be addressed by calling the shops at 582-3200 or by emailing Superintendant John Alston.

New Requirement for Chlorination!!!

The City of Bozeman has prohibited the use of tablets for water system chlorination.  The "tablet method" of chlorination may still be used, however only the granular form of calcium hypochlorite may be used as per AWWA Standard C-651-05 4.4.2.1. 

Curb Stamps

New stamps on curbs will make it easy to designate where the water and sewer services cross into property.  Below are two pictures of stamps in Baxter Meadows Phase 6.  This is a new requirement in the City of Bozeman.
