An apparatus, method and system for treating contaminated water. The apparatus comprises a tank with a dividing member dividing the tank into a settling region and an evaporation region. The settling region comprises an inlet, weir means, and an outlet, and the evaporation region comprises an inlet and heat application means, the settling region outlet in fluid communication with the evaporation region inlet. The method comprises allowing contaminated water to encounter the weir means, producing contaminants and cleaned water, and transporting the cleaned water to the evaporation region, where the heat application means apply heat to the cleaned water allowing evaporation of the cleaned water. The water treatment system comprises a settling sub-system for receiving contaminated water from a source and allowing contaminants to settle out of the contaminated water, producing cleaned water, and an evaporation sub-system in fluid communication with the settling sub-system for receiving the cleaned water and enabling evaporation of the cleaned water. Preferably, the system further comprises a boiler blowdown sub-system in fluid communication with the evaporation sub-system, wherein an adjacent boiler is allowed to vent boiler contents into the evaporation sub-system during boiler blowdown.
