In an effort to reduce the transmission risk of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), the Nevada Irrigation District (NID) is moving to mandatory electronic invoicing for all vendors, effective immediately.

Under the new procedure, NID invoices and statements are to be submitted electronically to invoices@nidwater.com, according to NID Finance Manager/Treasurer Marvin Davis. Paper invoices will not be processed after April 10.

“Our goal is to reduce exposure to COVID-19 for our organization as well as for vendors,” Davis said. “Transitioning to e-invoicing will contribute to shorter processing periods and faster payments while improving overall environmental quality.”
