The Great Neck Water Pollution Control District recently announced they undertook multiple measures to make their website more accessible, in accordance with Axe accessibility recommendations. In recent weeks, the District worked to ease overall navigation of their website, increased the contrast of dropdown tabs and incorporated alt attributes, or “alt tags” — providing descriptive words for images.
“The district is committed to providing access to our headquarters and website for all the residents we proudly serve,” said Great Neck Water Pollution Control District Commissioner Patty Katz. “No matter one’s mobility, sight or hearing impairment, everyone should have full access to government buildings and public information — where decisions that are affecting them are made and recorded. I’m proud to stand with my fellow commissioners as we continue to spearhead access and transparency in local government.”
In 2016, the district completed a series of projects at its offices, including the construction of a handicap ramp and other modifications, to make the building ADA compliant. The District was awarded a grant of $50,000 from the Nassau County Community Revitalization Program and $50,000 from the state to complete the structural modifications.
