Consumer issues
What else can affect your water pressure? Some modern heating appliances and showers will not work below certain pressure levels. You should seek your water company's advice before installing this type of equipment to check whether the pressure in your water company's area is sufficient for these systems to operate efficiently. The amount of pressure at your tap can depend on how high the service reservoir or water tower is above your home, or on how much water other customers are using. The height of your property can also affect your water pressure - properties at the top of a hill may receive lower pressure than properties which are at the bottom of the hill. You should not notice any difference in your water pressure after having a water meter installed.  |
