The incident has been located in a valve in Yunquera de Henares, where technical teams are working intensively to resolve the issue. The repair has been complicated by the continuous outflow of water after removing the fasteners, hindering both the extraction of the damaged part and the installation of a new valve.
This situation has caused the work to extend longer than anticipated, which could lead to pressure drops or temporary water cuts in Alcalá de Henares. The final impact will depend on the progress of the repair and the water levels in municipal reservoirs.
“"Given the incident registered in the general supply system managed by the 'Mancomunidad de Aguas del Sorbe', the entity responsible for the city's supply, the Alcalá de Henares City Council reports that due to causes beyond its control…"
The Complutense Consistory has emphasized that this incident is beyond municipal management, as it directly depends on the general supply system. The Mancomunidad has informed affected municipalities that, to expedite the repair, a total temporary cut of the supply will be necessary in the affected area.
However, it has been noted that localities with sufficient reserves in their reservoirs might experience a lesser impact. Given this eventuality, the Alcalá de Henares City Council has recommended that citizens maintain a small water reserve for basic needs, use water responsibly, and prioritize essential domestic consumption.
The City Council maintains constant communication with the Mancomunidad and has committed to informing the public through its official channels about any developments regarding the incident.
