City of Owasso

PROJECT PURPOSE

The proposed project will significantly reduce property and street flooding by constructing the Northwest Regional Detention Pond. The Northwest Regional Detention Project is located adjacent to Mingo Road and just south of East 116th Street North. These stormwater improvements were identified as a project due to inadequate culvert size and detention resulting in property and major street flooding. On average, Mingo Road is flooded and closed for an extended period of time at least three times a year. This project would decrease the level of flooding in the area.

EVIDENCE

None

POPULATION DESCRIPTION

The proposed project will benefit a largely residential area. The citizens of Owasso who live in this area have been impacted by the pandemic over the past two years. An improvement to the flooding in the area will benefit them by reducing the number of repair required after flooding occurs.

PERFORMANCE MEASURING

A reduction in the level of property and street flooding will be the measures of performance for this project. The existing culverts and detention are inadequate, so once the project is completed, the level of flooding will decrease. Mingo Road is expected to remain open during rain events.
