ASUS actively seeks opportunities to operate and maintain water and/or wastewater systems at U.S. government military installations. The Military Utility Privatization Subsidiaries have capital commitments that are being funded by the U.S. government. In certain circumstances, the government may request that ASUS finance the cost of selected construction projects.  ASUS will consider financing such projects.  The terms of any such financing, including interest rates, will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
