Sludge Management Plan
Dear Mr Thedford,
No sludge is generated from this facility, based on the type of discharge from the ion exchange
softening equipment; there is currently no sludge management plan for this facility. This water
treatment facility produces drinking water for the water system serving this community. Should
the need arise to clean out the tanks our local pump truck contractor will be contacted.
