The Defense Department awarded American Water Works Co. a contract for a 10th military installation’s water and wastewater system earlier this month. Fort Hood has used the company since 2008.

The move to use such a company is part of the Defense Department and Department of the Army’s initiative to privatize services, said Brian Dosa, Fort Hood’s Department of Public Works directorate.

For the military post, the move to privatization started with housing in 2001 and the water-based infrastructures followed in 2008. Electric and gas utilities are still handled by Fort Hood employees.

“(American Water) is helping us do a good job and to be honest are doing a better job,” Dosa said about managing and improving the infrastructure.
