Calistoga, California, with a $450,000 award from the California Energy Commission (CEC), is starting development on a geothermal district-heating system for 36 structures. The district-heating system will include many downtown businesses and three city buildings. 210/sup 0/F geothermal water is expected to be pumped from the production well(s), located near Pacheteau's spa, and pass through a plate heat exchanger nearby. At the heat exchanger, fresh water in a separate, closed loop will be heated and circulated through the system. The geothermal water will be injected back into the reservoir through an injection well drilled at the southern end of town.
