Low water pressure-should I worry?
 

Hello all,

This morning my wife got up to take a shower, and the water pressure
was very low. I got in the shower after her, and the water pressure
started out low, but gradually returned to seemingly normal by the
time I was done my shower.

We are on a public water supply, and my plumbing is about 16 years
old. I don't remember this happening before. I checked for leaks, but
did not find any.

Is this something I should worry about? What could have caused this?
Or am I worrying too much? Thanks!

Besides something that the water company was doing, was there a house
fire going on in the area at the time?
When hydrants are open, the water pressure may drop.
