Abstract
Due to the abundance source of low temperature geothermal in Hungary, hot waters are widely used for heating purposes. The relative richness is, however, not in direct relationship with the success of geothermal projects being either before, under or after implementation. This paper presents the almost 15 year long history of a geothermal project in the town of Szarvas, where a new geothermal heating system has been running for 5 years without technical difficulties. However, in the last three years a number of non-technical problems have surfaced. The reader will see the main technical solutions and experience of the operation both technically and economically.
