About WaterOne Procurement

We appreciate your interest in doing business with us for materials, products, or services. As a not-for-profit utility, WaterOne relies on responsive, resourceful current and potential suppliers in order to get the maximum value for our customers. We enjoy doing business with companies who share our values of quality, integrity, safety, accountability, and respect.

In our organization, many purchases for stock product are coordinated through our Procurement Department. Other purchases are made directly by authorized operations staff as overseen by Procurement staff to ensure our procurement policy and standards are met. We conduct all procurement activities in accordance with established WaterOne Procurement policies and procedures.

WaterOne utilizes external online bid services for some procurement opportunities. QuestCDN may be used for construction projects and Public Purchase may be used for materials and supplies bids.
