In the UK, the disposal of wastes from the production of potable water has been an increasing problem for water companies since the introduction of the Waste Management Licensing Regulations in 1994. This paper considers alternative management strategies. The importance of investigating each works individually is stressed because of variations in sludge properties and disposal costs. Of the disposal options, the growing of turf is environmentally sustainable and economically attractive, whereas direct spreading on agricultural land and use in soil production can be successful. Other uses, e.g. in ceramics, are at various stages of development; co‐disposal with sewage is an option, but hidden costs need to be assessed.
