Moody Air Force Base celebrated during a historical ceremony for the transfer of the Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant from a private contractor to Lowndes County, Oct. 3, in Valdosta, Ga. It’s taken three and a half years for this project to come to fruition, but Moody is leading from the front by becoming the first base in the DOD to gain approval for an inter-governmental service agreement with a municipality for a utility.
