🌪️ THANK YOU, HEROES 🌳

The City of Inwood extends our deepest gratitude to all the first responders and incredible volunteers who stepped up after last night’s storm. From clearing trees and debris to checking in on neighbors, your swift action and selfless service helped restore safety and calm throughout our community.

We are proud to live in a town where people show up for one another when it matters most. 💙

Thank you for your hard work and hearts.

Inwood Fire and Rescue has power and can help those who emergently/urgently need it for health or safety reasons at the station. Residents may be turned away at the discretion of first responders or city personnel.

The City is asking for your help. Do you have a payloader, side dump, or chainsaw and are willing to help clean up around town (any payloader with grapples are a plus)? Please meet at the fire department at 9 am.

If you have the ability safely get downed trees to the city dump, please do so.

Please stay off the roads unless absolutely necessary while Fire and Rescue work to clear debris.

Do not approach downed power lines. Report any downed lines to MidAmerican or comment below and the report will be made for you.

Residents, businesses and community partners are invited to complete a survey about local disasters as Lyon County updates its Hazard Mitigation Plan, which is used by all cities and schools within the county.

Hazard mitigation is the effort to reduce loss of life and property by lessening the impact of disasters. It is most effective when implemented under a comprehensive, long‑term mitigation plan, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

The survey can be accessed by clicking https://tworiversem.formstack.com/forms/lco_public. Please submit responses by August 15, 2025.
For more information, contact the Lyon County Emergency Management Agency.

Faces of Inwood: meet Amber!

When asked, Amber shared “I have lived in Inwood for almost my entire life. What I enjoy most about Inwood is being surrounded by people doing their best. This is a place where there is a village that cares about your kids with you. Church congregations supporting each other through all seasons of life! Small town life isn’t always fancy or new, but it’s real and a special place to build a life.
We are so thankful our kids can grow up here! Going straight from the school bus to the baseball field to meet up with any kids from town that want to play. Have a pool to cool off on those hot summer days. Pickleball games at the park. 4th of July memories and soon a community center to hide from a winter storm after building snowmen with neighbor kids. Not to mention coffee shops and stores to enjoy together.”

Let’s celebrate the amazing people who make our city so special!

Faces of Inwood: meet Taylor!

I have lived in Inwood all 29 years of my life.

What I love most about Inwood is being able to raise our three children in such a welcoming and supportive community. I especially appreciate the dedication of those who work hard to help our neighborhood grow and thrive.

Let’s celebrate the people who make our city so amazing!

The City has seen an increase in the use of golf carts in town. Please see the city code below and ensure that these are followed for everyone’s safety.

The City believes there is a water leak but has not been able to determine where. It is not connected to a meter which has made it very difficult to locate. City staff have been checking manholes and anywhere where there are puddles that we wouldn’t typically see with rainfall. If you notice standing water in an uncommon location, please let the City know by messaging here or calling City Hall at 712-753-4833.
