The Association of Entrepreneurs of Henares (AEDHE) has reported that the water supply cut, managed by the Mancomunidad de Aguas del Sorbe, is causing millions in losses and paralyzing factories, shops, and bars in the Corredor del Henares.

AEDHE has expressed deep concern over the substantial economic losses suffered by the industrial, commercial, and hospitality sectors in the Corredor del Henares due to a water supply breakdown. This situation affects several towns supplied by the Mancomunidad de Aguas del Sorbe, disrupting assembly lines, manufacturing processes, and the daily operations of establishments that rely on water as an essential resource.
The cut has a direct impact on businesses in one of the most industrially dense areas of the Community of Madrid. The employers' association emphasizes that the forced halt in production, without a clear timeline for service restoration, is generating significant economic damage, even forcing some companies to completely cease their activities.

An area with such industrial weight cannot remain without certainty regarding a basic service essential for its competitiveness.

The situation not only affects immediate revenue but also larger-scale logistical and contractual obligations. Numerous companies are facing severe operational difficulties and compromising their commitments to clients. AEDHE has urged the Mancomunidad to prioritize the full restoration of the supply and to provide a rigorous technical forecast for resolving the breakdown.
Furthermore, the organization has requested a thorough analysis of the causes of the cut and the implementation of preventive measures to avoid future incidents, including reinforced maintenance and a review of critical points in the supply network. The association is collecting information from its members to quantify the economic damage and submit a formal claim to the Mancomunidad.
The Corredor del Henares, which includes municipalities such as Torrejón de Ardoz, San Fernando de Henares, and Coslada, is a significant industrial and logistics hub. The water cut affects diverse sectors such as automotive, food, chemical, and services, amplifying the economic impact of the breakdown.
