A method and apparatus for disposing of water at gas wells. Water from the water holding tank is collected periodically in a heating vessel. Hot fluid from an auxiliary engine system, such as the oil pump or the water pump for the compressor engine, is pumped through a heat conductive coil around the heating vessel to heat the well water in the heating vessel. The heated well water then is injected into the hot exhaust line from the compressor either between the compressor and the muffler or alternatively is injected directly into the muffler. The heating vessel is pressurized with gas from the well to assist in the evacuation of the heated water from the heating vessel and the injection of the well water into the hot exhaust. A system of valves controls the delivery of water to the heating vessel, ensures that the heating vessel will not be over pressurized and deactivates the apparatus when the gas compressor is not running.
