Montava – Phase E Sanitary Sewer Analysis
Sanitary Sewer Analysis – Montava Phase E, Fort Collins, Colorado
Purpose
The purpose of this analysis is to determine the effluent produced by Montava Phase E based
upon the proposed site plans and to determine whether the existing infrastructure can accept
the adjusted flows from all sources.
Existing Conditions
The analysis performed by Martin/Martin, documented by their report Montava – Phase G –
Sanitary Sewer Modeling dated April 22, 2022 and previously approved by the Boxelder
Sanitation District was used to establish expected flows and expected densities for offsite
effluent contributions. Per information provided in the Montava – Phase G – Sanitary Sewer
Modeling report, the Storybrook Subdivision was expected to contribute 75 gal/day/person, with
an estimate of 3 people to a single-family unit. It was estimated that 142 single family
residences were contained within the Storybrook Subdivision, resulting in an approximate
average daily flow of 22.19 gal/minute (gpm). As noted in the report, a property to the south of
Mountain Vista Drive was determined to contribute flow to the system with a density of 5
dwelling units/acre over an approximate 20 acres, ultimately contributing an approximate daily
average flow of 15.625 gpm.
Design Criteria
The Fort Collins Utilities Water and Wastewater Design Criteria Manual, adopted on May 2,
2017 was used to design the alignment, elevations, and sizing of internal sewer systems for
Phase E, with the exception of the portion of sewer system that was already designed by
Martin/Martin, as documented in Montava – Phase G – Sanitary Sewer Modeling. The plan set
Utility Plans for Montava Subdivision Phase G Roadway and Infrastructure, submitted on
November 17, 2022 and prepared by Martin/Martin was also used to help establish proposed
alignment, elevations, and sizing of sewer infrastructure for the remainder of the Phase E
infrastructure not previously designed by Martin/Martin. Further coordination on final alignment
and elevations for Martin/Martin’s “San Line X” and TST’s “EX. SS-03”, “SS-01” and “SS-03”
sewer lines will need to be coordinated for future submittals to ensure continuity and design
adequacy. The calculations provided in Appendix B are based off of information provided in the
Montava – Phase G – Sanitary Sewer Modeling report, which references City and County of
Denver design criteria. It should be noted that the suggested sizing provided in Appendix B
adheres to City and County of Denver Design Criteria, but that the sizes shown in the Utility
Plans for Montava Subdivision Phase G Roadway and Infrastructure plan set have been
upsized due to the use of a significantly higher peaking factor. Please refer to Martin/Martin and
the Montava – Phase G – Sanitary Sewer Modeling report for the engineering associated with
the upsized piping. The portion of sewer mainline designed by Martin/Martin for Phase E reflects
what is shown in Utility Plans for Montava Subdivision Phase G Roadway and Infrastructure,
submitted on November 27, 2022 to allow for TST to design to the most recently proposed
infrastructure.
Montava – Phase E Sanitary Sewer Analysis
Proposed Conditions
The current sanitary system for the proposed Phase E, proposed Phase G, proposed Phase H,
existing offsite Storybrook Subdivision, and existing offsite property to the south, will feed into
an existing 21” Boxelder gravity main to the east of all three phases and offsite areas. This
analysis will include calculations for the flows in each zone, previously established by flow
calculated in Montava – Phase G – Sanitary Sewer Modeling, to determine the effluent going to
the existing gravity main and to determine if the additional capacity can be accepted. The
location of the existing sanitary main and approximate overall areas that drain to proposed
infrastructure can be seen in Appendix A. It should be noted that the infrastructure shown as
“Potential Future Sewer Alignment” has not yet been designed or calculated and serves only as
a suggestion of potential locations for additional infrastructure. In doing so, it can be noted that
the infrastructure proposed within Phase E should carry only effluent produced by Phase E
users and site pad owners, and that it is unnecessary for this infrastructure to route effluent
produced by any of the areas labeled for “Future Development.” Infrastructure routed through
the areas labeled as “Future Development” should be able to be routed separately, also
minimizing the number of tie-in points to the existing 21” Boxelder Sanitation District mainline.
This would be made possibly by using the suggested tie-in point for this eastern portion of
proposed development, as it is the same manhole that the infrastructure discussed in this
analysis ties in to.
The existing 21” Boxelder sanitary main will receive effluent flows from the Storybrook
Subdivision, approximately 20 acres of residential development to the south of Mountain Vista
Drive, approximately 38 acres of residential development in proposed Phase G, approximately
36 acres of mixed-use development in proposed Phase E, and approximately 16 acres of
mixed-use development in proposed Phase H. These plans also show the expected average
daily flows from the aforementioned areas to be approximately 264 gpm which was used in the
Montava Phase E flow calculations.
The same design strategy utilized in Martin/Martin’s Montava – Phase G – Sanitary Sewer
Modeling report was also used in the calculations shown in Appendix B, wherein the total flow
assumed for each phase, with the exception of Phase G, was applied at the most upstream
manhole in each phase. Though the effluent flow will tie into multiple locations along the pipe,
this conservative approach ensures that the entire sewer pipe contained within each phase will
be sized to carry the expected flow for the entire phase.
The average daily flows for the following types of land occupation were established in the
Montava – Phase G – Sanitary Sewer Modeling report:
• A single-family unit and multi-family unit was assumed to produce an average of 75
gal/capita/day with an assumed occupancy of 3 capita/unit for both single-family and
multi-family units. This resulted in a calculated flow of 225 gal/unit/day for both single-
family and multi-family units (75 gpd/person x 3 people/unit = 225 gpd/unit).
• A mixed-density single family residence (specific to Phase G) was assumed to
produce an average of 75 gal/capita/day with an assumed average occupancy of 3.7165
Montava – Phase E Sanitary Sewer Analysis
capita/mixed-density single-family unit. It should be noted that this average daily flow
rate and density assumption was not noted in Martin/Martin’s Montava – Phase G –
Sanitary Sewer Modeling report, but the average daily flow was assumed to be the same
as a single-family and multi-family unit, and other information for Phase G usage
provided in Montava – Phase G – Sanitary Sewer Modeling was used to back-calculate
an approximate density for a mixed-density single family unit. This resulted in an
assumed flow of 278.7375 gal/unit/day for mixed-density single-family units (75
gpd/person x 3.7165 people/unit = 278.7375 gpd/unit).
• A commercial user (specific to Phase E and H) was assumed to produce an average of
500 gal/day/acre, as noted in the Montava – Phase G – Sanitary Sewer Modeling report.
The average daily flow for each area was peaked using a peaking factor (PF) calculated by
specifications established by the City and County of Denver Department of Public Works in their
Sanitary Planning Criteria. The maximum peaking factor was calculated by the following
equation: PF = 2.6 x Q average daily, cfs-0.16. Therefore, the total peaked effluent flows into the
existing 21” pipe are expected to be approximately 747 gpm (PF = 2.6*(0.59)-0.16 = 2.83 ->
263.79 gpm x 2.83 = 747 gpm), which is different from the peaking factor used in Martin/Martin’s
Montava – Phase G – Sanitary Sewer Modeling report, but is referenced by the City and County
of Denver Department of Public Works Sanitary Planning Criteria.
Conclusion
The effluent produced by the offsite areas and proposed phases discussed above is expected to
be adequately captured by the existing 21” Boxelder Sanitation District mainline, due to the
conclusions previously established in the Montava – Phase G – Sanitary Sewer Modeling report
accepted by the Boxelder Sanitation District.
Ultimately, the existing and proposed infrastructure should be able to adequately capture the
effluent flows from these sources.
