The City of Shelbyville is encouraging the public to participate in the Wastewater and Stormwater Utility Planning Survey.

Feedback is helping identify current infrastructure needs and strengthen the city’s application for a planning grant through the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA). This planning effort is focused on evaluating existing wastewater and stormwater infrastructure needs across the community and pursuing potential outside funding opportunities for future planning efforts.

Residents who have not yet completed the survey are still encouraged to participate here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/shelbyutilitystudy

As part of the OCRA grant application process, the City of Shelbyville and the Southeastern Indiana Regional Planning Commission (SIRPC) will host two public engagement meetings on Thursday, May 27 at Shelbyville City Hall. These meetings are intended to gather community feedback related to wastewater and stormwater infrastructure planning needs.

Both meetings will be in City Hall in the 2nd floor Council Chambers. The first session starts at 11:30 a.m. with another at 5:00 p.m.
