Suðuræð is the transport artery of a district heating system that transports water from Reynisvatnsheiði to a large part of the capital area. Veitur (utilities) are now working on doubling this important transmission route and at the end of August part of it will be taken into use. There will be no hot water for a day and a half in all of Hafnarfjörður, from Monday evening, the 19th of August, until noon on Wednesday the 21st of August.
The capital area is growing rapidly and the population is increasing. Such growth is accompanied by increased use of hot water. Suðuræð is the transport artery of a district heating utility that transports water from Reynisvatnsheiði to a large part of the capital area. Veitur are now working on doubling this important transmission route and at the end of August part of it will be taken into use.
There will be no hot water for a day and a half in all of Hafnarfjörður, Kópavogur, Álftanes, Garðabær, Norðlingaholt and Breiðholt from 22:00 on Monday the 19th of August until noon on Wednesday the 21st of August. The closure is planned so that it occurs at a time when the least amount of hot water is being used. This is a major project where work is being done to connect the main pipeline of hot water, to increase operational security and transmission capacity for residents in the coming decades. In parallel with the connection of the main pipeline, important maintenance will be carried out and new pipes will be connected in four additional places to limit the times when the delivery of water to residents has to be stopped.
On Veitur´s website, you can get the latest information on the project. It will be updated regularly in Icelandic and English during the time of the closure. All suggestions on how Veitur can improve how they inform residents, companies and other stakeholders are welcome and you can always contact them at www.veitur.is.
