Default Low Water Pressure - City Water


"Beachcomber" wrote in message
...


I have a raised-elevation freestanding house on city water at the end
of the line with a long driveway. The problem is low water pressure
throughout the house. It's low coming into the house (20 psi or
so...) Otherwise..., the plumbing is OK.

First, I'd find out why it is so low. Do you have low static pressure (like
when noting is being used) or does it drop once a faucet is opened? If the
latter, it may be the feed pipes are old and clogged.

More information is needed. Type of pipe? Size? Pressure at nearby
houses? Have you talked to the town water department? They may be unaware
of your problem and can help if you tell them.
