General

West Hempstead Water District strives to ensure that our website is accessible to people with disabilities. Our goal is that individuals with disabilities who are members of the public seeking information or services from us, have access to, and use of, information and data that is comparable to that provided to the public who are not people with disabilities, unless an undue burden would be imposed on us. We have the strong belief that every person has the right to live with dignity, equality, comfort and independence, and we have invested resources to help ensure that our website has been made easier to use and more accessible for people with disabilities.
