    My parents have lived in that area for 30 years and the pressure has always been terrible. I live on the other side of Central and have decent pressure. For the pressure to be that bad for that long is mind boggling. 30 psi? I get better pressure in my camper with a pressure regulator to keep it down! There's no way its the supply lines to the house, because there are multiple ages of homes and different builders. If that were the case, the pressure would be inconsistent between the turn of the century homes on Pleasant View, mid century homes on Stutzman and 80's/90's builds in Heritage Hills, Hillview Estates and sprinkled in elsewhere.

    Is this basically just a technical issue?

    Right size pipes to deliver the needed pressure to all the feed lines?

    Someone must know where the bottle neck is.

    The next question would be how/why were more homes added if there was a drop in water pressure over time? Wouldn't you stop adding to the system until the previous pressure issues were resolved?

    ECWA only hires the most qualified persons , they surely must be able to find a solution.
