Service Standards 100 gallons per person per day treatment capacity for residential development; other uses as prescribed in technical standards applied by the Water/Wastewater Utilities Department sufficient main capacity to convey all wastewater to the sewage treatment plants Actions Replace sewer lines in older neighborhoods which are deteriorating and which are inadequate in capacity. Require all new development within the Urban Growth and Traditional Neighborhoods Development Areas to connect to public sewage treatment systems in accordance with existing standards. Continue cooperative arrangements with other municipalities in the metro area to identify and address regional sewage treatment issues. Solid Waste The City of Oklahoma City provides solid waste collection and disposal services to 153,000 households and small commercial customers throughout Oklahoma City. Service Standard Once a week collection at the street curb for single family and duplex residential customers Actions Continue the curb-side recycling program and seek expanded participation by citizens. Pursue cooperative arrangements with other municipalities in the metro area to identify and address regional solid waste issues. Storm Drainage Publicly maintained drainage improvements enhance public safety and minimize property and structure loss due to flooding. These improvements are generally concentrated in areas of urban development. Service Standards In accordance with existing regulations, all area below the 50-year floodplain shall be dedicated as a park, or drainage and utility easement. 53
In accordance with existing regulations, drainage channels sufficient to contain run-off from a 50-year frequency rainfall shall be shown on development plans and developed according to City standards. Primary drainage channels are those which handle surface water from an area greater than 500 acres. Secondary drainage channels are defined as those handling water from less than 500 acres. Stormwater detention facilities should be constructed in those drainage basins with known downstream flooding or in those which are projected to flood when fully developed for the uses and intensities indicated by the Land Use Policies of this Plan. To apply this standard, flooding is defined as the flooding of structures. Detention must be designed to accommodate a 100-year frequency flood and should release stormwater at a rate not greater than that which existed prior to development. Actions Pursue cooperative arrangements with other municipalities in the metro area to identify and address regional storm drainage issues. Roads, Streets, and Bridges Oklahoma City’s road and street system provides for the movement of persons and freight within the community and between Oklahoma City and other cities. These streets should be improved and maintained to appropriate standards based on traffic volumes, the character of the land served, the need for enhanced neighborhood quality, and functional classification. Actions Review street classification and design standards to ensure that the City’s street system provides for efficient traffic flow and enhances neighborhood quality. Incorporate the design guidelines set forth in the Land Use and Design element into the City’s street classification standards and subdivision regulations. Require that new street construction comply with the design guidelines contained in the Land Use and Design element and with corresponding requirements of the City’s street classification standards and subdivision regulations. Bring existing streets up to these guidelines and standards when such streets are improved or reconstructed through capital improvements or other street projects. Place a high priority on replacing bridges in rural areas to maintain access for emergency vehicles. Work with county officials to clearly establish responsibilities for maintaining roads in rural areas. 54
