What our crawl found on scwa.com
Counts from our September 17, 2026 crawl, which visited 786 pages. Our crawler found 257 public documents on scwa.com — an estimated 11,025 pages your team would otherwise inventory by hand.
The crawl stopped at its time limit, so every count here is a minimum: the site has at least this many documents.
Documents by category
- Other141 · 55%
- Reports55 · 21%
- Agendas & minutes26 · 10%
- Forms19 · 7%
- Policies16 · 6%
No single category dominates this inventory — the largest bucket is uncategorized material at 55% — so a short sampling pass is the fastest way to establish remediation priorities.

Checked sample
3 of 45 passed(7%)
- Passed basic checks: 3
- Did not pass: 42
Most checked files are missing basics such as tags, a document title, a declared language or labeled form fields. Files made without accessibility tooling usually look like this, and they need structural work, not touch-ups.
The rate covers the 45 files we checked, not all 257 documents. Checks cover tag structure, document language, title, image alt text and form-field labels.
Scanned share
7% scanned
Most of the collection is digital-native text, which keeps remediation at the lighter end: tagging and structure work rather than OCR.
Scanned images need text recognition (OCR) before they can be tagged.
Forms are a small part of this inventory (7%), but each one needs labeled fields and a working tab order before someone using a screen reader can fill it in.

These are machine checks on a sample, not a compliance finding, and they say nothing about the people who publish Suffolk County Water Authority's documents. The file-level inventory, including which documents failed which checks, is available only to verified staff of Suffolk County Water Authority after claiming this page.
How we measured this
1.Crawl
We start at the organization's website and follow its sitemaps and links on the same site. We respect robots.txt and crawl delays, and skip login areas.
2.Classify
Each document is sorted by file format and, from its link text and file name, into a category such as forms or agendas. Page counts are estimated, often without downloading the whole file.
3.Check a sample
We open up to 50 PDFs and run basic machine checks: tags, document title, language, image alt text and form-field labels.
4.Publish only with evidence
Figures appear only when a crawl finds at least 25 documents and checks at least 20 of them.
Limits of this method
- We only see public pages we can reach through links or sitemaps. Documents behind logins or on other services may be missed.
- Crawls stop at page, document and time limits. When one is hit, the counts are minimums.
- Categories and page counts are estimates from links, file names and file metadata.
- Machine checks can't judge reading order, alt text quality or table structure. Passing them is not WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.
- Figures describe the site on the crawl date, not today.

Frequently asked questions
When is Suffolk County Water Authority's ADA Title II deadline?
April 26, 2027. Suffolk County Water Authority is in the 2027 cohort under the Department of Justice's rule on web and mobile accessibility for state and local governments, with compliance dates as set by the Department's interim final rule of April 20, 2026 (91 FR 20902).
How was Suffolk County Water Authority's deadline set?
The Census Bureau calculates no population for Suffolk County Water Authority — it counts it as part of another government rather than a separate one. The rule then uses that government's population: 1,525,920 (Suffolk County, 2020 Census). That is at or above 50,000, so the earlier compliance date applies.
How many public documents does Suffolk County Water Authority have?
Our crawl on September 17, 2026 fetched 786 pages from https://www.scwa.com/ and found at least 257 documents (it stopped at a crawl limit), an estimated 11,025 pages. The full file-level list is available to verified staff after claiming the page.
How many of Suffolk County Water Authority's documents pass accessibility checks?
3 of the 45 files we checked passed basic machine checks (7%). That is a sample of the 257 documents we found, and passing basic checks is not full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.
How much would it cost to fix Suffolk County Water Authority's documents?
Our directional estimate is $7,613.00 to $11,420.00 with DocoMatic: about 38,065 credits for 11,025 estimated pages, based on this crawl. It is not a quote.
Which documents should Suffolk County Water Authority fix first?
Start with rate schedules, service applications and water quality reports: the documents customers rely on.
Do older PDFs have to be made accessible too?
Not all of them. Documents already posted before the compliance date are excepted unless they are currently used to apply for, gain access to, or participate in the organization's services, programs or activities (28 CFR 35.201(b)). Genuinely archived content is excepted too, but only while it is kept solely for reference, research or recordkeeping, sits in a clearly identified archive area and is not changed. Everything published from the compliance date on is covered, and so is any older file people still use to reach a service.
