Mountain Village, Big Sky Water System Improvements
Water Infrastructure Designed for the Realities of Big Sky
Service: On-Site Water & Wastewater Systems
The Challenge
Rapid growth in Big Sky's Mountain Village demanded a water system capable of keeping pace, all in terrain that made conventional infrastructure design impractical. The mountainous topography required a pressure zone approach, with carefully designed controls to manage elevation-driven pressure differentials across the distribution system.
Our Solution
Gaston Engineering & Surveying designed and managed the installation of a 1.5 million-gallon ground storage tank, main trunk lines, a booster station, and pressure zone control valves. Two previously drilled wells were brought into active service and integrated into the new system alongside a booster pumping unit equipped with telemetry controls. Ultimately, this provided reliable, remotely monitored water service to a fast-growing mountain resort community.
