In September of 2020, American Water was awarded a 50-year contract to privatize the water and wastewater utilities at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) in Washington state. JBLM is the DoD’s premiere military installation on the West Coast. JBLM was formed in 2010 after the consolidation of Fort Lewis and McChord Air Force Base. It is a joint force power projection platform for the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines. JBLM is home to the Army's I Corps and the Air Force's 62nd Airlift Wing, as well as several reserve components. The joint base has a population of approximately 110,000 people including, 40,000 active duty, 60,000 family members and 15,000 civilian and contract employees.
American Water will provide water treatment, storage, and distribution across JBLM. As a whole, the water system includes approximately 1.67 million linear feet of water pipe, 1,957 hydrants, 9,138 valves, 21 wells, and 28 tanks. The wastewater collection system includes a wastewater treatment plant and approximately 1.2 million linear feet of pipe, 3,120 manholes, and 99 lift stations.
