Low Water Pressure Problem

Low pressure is generally described as not enough water in the system and is often confused with low flow.

Low pressures or flows can be caused by:

1. Pipe restrictions, such as your main valve being partially closed, or the screens on individual faucets needing cleaning.

2. A malfunctioning pressure reducing valve (PRV). Pressure at your point-of-use is determined by the difference between the elevation of the water level in the water tank serving your service area and the elevation of your service connection. The higher your service connection, the less your pressure.

After you have investigated to see if any of the above causes are restricting your flows or pressure, please contact BCWSA to schedule a pressure check at your service.
