Each year, the Southern Nevada Water Authority buys millions of dollars worth of goods and services. These items vary from office pens and paper to pipes and valves.
The Water Authority is governed by the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) as they relate to purchasing and contracting activities. NRS Chapter 332 governs our purchases for commodities, services and professional services.
Construction contracts are governed by NRS Chapter 338. These statutes give the Water Authority its purchasing and contracting authority, which is delegated to its staff by the Authority’s Board of Directors.
All purchases are handled by the Las Vegas Valley Water District. Learn more about bidding on construction projects or goods and services.
