Default Any easy/cheap way to determine where restriction in water service may be?

If latter, surely some one touched the valve......


Old-ish house, but current occupants have only been there less than a
year. No idea when the issue started, it's always been there as far
as they know.

I'm quite sure someone touched the valve, *guessing* maybe landlord,
house was previously a rental? attempt to curb water use on a
utilities-included lease? Or someone was aware of the high pressure
coming off the street and didn't understand that static pressure
wouldn't change if flow were restricted? Who knows. just hope it's
fixed now, and I'm feeling good


Do check that the old valve is not leaking. It's possible that they closed it
enough that a leak on the valve went away.
