Default Testing home water pressure?

Calab wrote:

The water pressure in my subdivision has always been low. We moved in
as the area was being developed so we just assumed that the pressure
was low as houses were still going up, etc...

Well, now it's eight years later and our pressure is still poor. For
example, if I have the lawn sprinkler on and flush my toilet, the
sprinkler just about stops.

I'm hoping that there is a reasonably simple way that I could test the
water pressure in my home. Any gauges or methods that I should be
aware of?

I'm located in Calgary, AB, Canada.

There have been some good suggestions, but I would start with water
supplier if on a municipal supply. Ask what normal pressure is .
