On the one hand the spring itself is subjected to nature conservancy protection, on the other hand a few feet in front of the vents concrete walls discharge the hot water directly into a pipeline system. Most of it is used for central heating in the towns of Borgarnes and Akranes, the agricultural school Hvanneyri and some farms in the Borgarfjordur region.
