Bozeman relies on snowpack for its water supply, with 80% coming from snowmelt in the Gallatin Range, which feeds Bozeman Creek and Hyalite Creek. The other 20% comes from a developed spring at the headwaters of Lyman Creek in the Bridger Range.

• Bozeman enjoys extremely high-quality water, but quantity is limited! With only 16 inches of average annual precipitation, Bozeman is considered semi-arid and drought-prone.

• Bozeman is growing which means more people are needing more water. Our water supplies eventually will not be enough. Without water conservation, Bozeman could be facing a water shortage within the next 15 years.  We can’t make more water, but we can be smarter about how we use our water.
