The results of an approximately $9.7 million investment. With the deepest geothermal well in the city of Reno, at 4,400 feet underground, the Peppermill recirculates 800 gallons of 170 degree water at 80-90 psi per minute. This harnesses 100% of the resort's heat (water and mechanical) to supply the 2.1 million square feet of the Peppermill 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. According to Dr. Jim Combs of Geo Hills Associates LLC of Reno, "The green energy heating addition to the HVAC system at the Peppermill will now make it the only hotel in the United States whose heating source is totally provided from geothermal energy produced on their own immediate property."
