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! |

When hydrants are open, the water pressure may drop. -- Bill In Hamptonburgh, NY To email, remove the double zeroes after @ |
