Mains Water Pressure. What is "typical"?
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Ron Lowe saying
something like:
That's high.
Normal is around 3-4 bar, but I've seen as high as 7. I've never seen 10.
It's 10bar around here, but the main ressy is on a hillside a fair ways
up, probably 300' or more. Then there's the pumps...
Of course, the Council could put pressure regulators on the system, but
they'd rather keep their employees busy by having to repair the mains
blow-outs every few weeks. Utterly daft.
