Are you about to dig?
Before digging, it is essential to have a clear overview of the project and the worksite. Good preparation contributes to a safe and successful operation.
Service area
Our service area is primarily in the Reykjavík area but also in many parts of the south and west of the country. Our system is extensive; pipes and cables are a total of 9,000 km in length, corresponding to the distance from Reykjavík to Shanghai. Around the city and countryside there are substations, distribution centres, wells, electricity boxes, well-houses, tanks, pumping stations, valve houses and cleaning plants that we oversee.
- In the capital area we operate district heating as well as 16 smaller providers in the south and west.
- We run 12 water supply systems in our territory as well as sell drinking water to two municipalities, a total of more than half the population.
- We own and operate sewers and in three municipalities and run pumping stations for four additional municipalities. In total, we serve about half the nation's sewers.
