The eruption, the third in two months, disrupted the hot water network and heating system, leading to repair challenges in freezing temperatures.

"Multiple Eruptions: Iceland's Volcano Disrupts Hot Water Supply and Shoots Lava 260 Feet in the Air"

A volcanic eruption in southwest Iceland has damaged hot water pipes, leaving thousands of residents without hot water as temperatures drop. The eruption, the third in the area since December, sent lava shooting 260 feet in the air and disrupted the hot water supply to parts of Keflavík, Sandgerði, and Garður. The country issued a state of emergency as officials urged residents and businesses to conserve electricity and hot water. Contractors worked to provide a hot water bypass pipe, but it will take a few days for the full supply to return. The eruption has also affected tourist spots such as the Blue Lagoon and Keflavík International Airport.
