How Can I Help?

What Can NASWC Do For ME?

NASWC is the Neighborhood Association of Southwestern Williamson County. Our Association membership is dedicated to promoting the general welfare of the residents and resources as well as protecting property values. All of our work for the welfare of our community and the residents is done by community volunteers. All Officers, Board Members, and Committee Members are volunteers.

Let your voice be heard and your family represented. Join your neighborhood association, NASWC, and get involved in the planning board.

We work with both Williamson County and the city of Austin on Zoning and Development issues, often spending long hours at Zoning and Planning meetings in Austin.
Through the hard work of NASWC leadership, we have nurtured an excellent relationship with area Police, Sheriff’s department and our County Commissioner’s office since our beginnings in 1998.
We have a special lower-rate, members-only, contract for garbage disposal with Round Rock Refuse. They also provide recycling and bulk items pick-up as part of the contract. Our members are eligible to participate in this contract if they do not live in an area serviced by City of Austin or a MUD district disposal service.
We award a scholarship each year to a student who has completed high school and will be attending college or a trade/technical school. Eligibility is for students who live in our neighborhood and are children or grandchildren of NASWC members.
We co-host the annual National Night Out event with Town & Country at the T&C Ball Fields in August for the entire NASWC community.
We sponsor the community’s Forest North Stingrays Swim Team as part of our support of family-oriented activities

We email announcements of events, programs, alerts, and reminders to our members via Constant Contact. Through it, members keep in touch with issues affecting our community.
We maintain this website, www.naswc.org, which is chock-full of community information and links.

We are ALL volunteers and your neighbors. We are not a Municipal Utility District nor an HOA. No company or person has been hired to do this work.

Forest North Drainage Project Background

Following the flooding from Hermine in 2010, Williamson County initiated a study of the drainage in the Forest North area, including a survey and consulting by K. Friese & Associates. A report of this study was presented to neighbors at a meeting hosted by Commissioner Birkman on March 29, 2010.

Residents were invited to complete a survey on the flooding they experienced, and these surveys have been collected and evaluated by K. Friese & Associates. A plan for moving forward with improvements is being developed.

Visit the Williamson County website for current information on this project.
