The William Shelley Drain is a legal drain that serves to remove subsurface water from much of the east side of Crawfordsville. It was originally designed to serve a rural area when much of the land was used for farming. However, much has changed in recent decades, and most of the land within the watershed served by the drain has been developed. Due to growth in the area, and the age of the existing infrastructure involved in the drain, it is no longer adequate for removing water collected by the stormwater system from the area. As a result, it needs reconstruction to allow the area to be properly drained, prevent flooding of homes and businesses, and clear the way for future development.
