Market-Based Opportunities for Private Water Players: U.S. Military Service Contracts 

Once dominated by a few select players, military service contracts now offer market-based opportunities for private water companies. While investor-owned utilities in the U.S. rely heavily on their core, regulated municipal activities, market-based activities (e.g. military, energy contracts, services) are proving to be an area of growth for select companies. Thus far, only only three major players derive more than 10% of their revenues from market-based activities.

Service contracts with U.S. military bases provide room for growth, particularly as the U.S. government is expected to continue its reliance on third-parties going forward. American Water and American States hold a virtual duopoly on the market, indicating the DoD’s reliance on larger players.
