Tax

The Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) is exempt from Nevada Sales Tax and Federal Excise Tax for the procurement of goods.

Bill Processing

The Water Authority pays its bills within 30 days of receipt of the invoice or delivery of the products or services, whichever is later. Special arrangements can be made for earlier payment.

Purchasing Goods and Services

The majority of all purchases are made by the SNWA Purchasing Division. All departments have access to User Purchase Orders, which allow the departments to place orders for small purchases under $1,000 or to place orders against existing Blanket Purchase Orders.

Sustainable Practices

The Water District supports and promotes Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP). The EPP program encourages and assists agencies purchase environment-friendly products or services--those having a lesser or reduced effect on human health and the environment when compared with competing products or services that serve the same purpose.
