SUMMARY OF 2011

On February 1 & 2, 2011 we had over 16.7" of snow, which was the 2nd highest total for one storm (per the QC airport statistics).  The drifts on our roads were over 10 feet high in places (see the first two pictures above).  Luckily we had our new maintenance grader, which "plowed" through all the drifts with great results!  John Weigel, Drury Township Road Commissioner, and his team had the roads cleared by end of day on February 2.  Thanks, John and team, for all your hard work!  (Note the last picture that shows how great this winter has been ---------------- so far!

The following are some highlights of how your tax dollars were spent in 2011:

• 4000 tons of rock hauled
• 2 miles of seal coat laid on our roads
• Large tube replaced on Blanchard's Island Road (many of our tubes are over 50 years old!)
• Deposited 350 tons of cinders on icy roads
• Applied dust control (tree sap) on numerous roads (Note:  The township will pay for $15/ 100 feet of tree sap applied.  Contact John Weigel - township officials website- for more information on dust control.)
• Supported the Muscatine Library (Cost = $3,200)
• Replaced the motor of road equipment at the cost of $18,000
• Provided general assistance to eligible residents of the township

DRURY TOWNSHIP INFORMATION

Drury Township was established in 1857.  It had served the constituents of Drury Township for over 150 years, working hard to make sure the people of this area have the government services they need.  We have the original minutes from 1857 until today.  Anyone interested in viewing these can contact one of the elected officials.

Drury Township is in the southwest corner of Rock Island County, located in western part of Illinois. The township is boarded by the Mississippi River on two sides.  Illinois Route 92, which crosses into the state of Iowa, is the main state highway access into the township.

The township has approximately 53 miles of roadway.  There are over 800 people located in the township. 

Please join us for the monthly meetings which are held on the second Wednesday of the month.  Meetings are held at the township building at 8:00 pm every month except for November through February when they are held at 7:00 pm.
