Veitur will begin preparing in August to drill for hot water near the junction of Kringlumýrarbraut and Laugarvegur and Suðurlandsbraut, mbl.is reports.

According to a statement from Veitur, the first drilling pad will be set up at Bolholt, followed by a grass area at Engjateigur.

Drilling is expected to begin in September or October, with each well expected to take about six weeks to drill.
