Accessibility policies

Our accessibility policies provide guidance to integrate disability access and language access in Water Bureau communications, programs and services, facilities, and employee experience and training. Guidance includes protocols for emergencies, training development, and procurement. Following these policies and guidance helps ensure that the bureau is meeting its obligations under Titles I and II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Titles VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act.
