    Water not working in half the house
    I just bought a house,had the water turned on and only the kitchen faucet and outdoor faucets work. I only get water in the bathroom when the kitchen faucet is on with not much pressure. There are only one shut off, at the main{city water}which is on. I was thinking the valve at the street wasn't opened all the way?
