NIGP 57897: Water, Non-Potable

NIGP 57897 Water, Non-Potable is an Item code covering the procurement of non-potable water delivery and related infrastructure construction and rehabilitation.

Issuing bodies include city and county water and sewer departments (City of Beaverton, Oregon; Orange County, Florida; Seminole County, Florida; Eastern Municipal Water District, California; Collier County, Florida), municipalities (City of DeBary, Florida; City of St. Petersburg, Florida), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions (Sourcewell on behalf of Washington counties and other public entities nationwide). Activity is concentrated in Florida, Oregon, and California, with broader geographic reach through cooperative purchasing arrangements.
