High Water Pressure Problems

High pressure is generally described as too much pressure causing your internal plumbing lines to bang, your hot water pressure relief valve to trip, or wearing out faucet washers very quickly.

A malfunctioning pressure reducing valve (PRV) can cause both high and low pressure problems. PRV's are the homeowner's responsibility to install and/or maintain. The plumbing code recommends PRV's be installed where the service pressure is 80 psi or more. Since the 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 and the elevation of your service connection, the higher the difference between these levels, the higher your pressure.

Please contact BCWSA to schedule a pressure check at your service.
