Do you have a well or is it city water?

If it is a well, you likely have a pump problem.

What is the position of the shut off valve to the house.

I have city water & I have not check the shut off valve.Could it be caused by a car running over the box where the valve is located?

It could be but not that likely. Depends on how far down it is buried, soil conditions etc.

There is usually a shut off valve inside the home. That way you can easily change a water hear for example in the middle of winter. You should check that.

Ask your neighbours if their water pressure is low. Also do you have water filters in your home? If so, remove the cartridges or bypass the filters. They may be plugged up.

Hope this helps.

I checked the valve like you said & that's where the problem was. I bought a new hose a week or so ago and I must have hit the gate valve .It was closed about half way. Thanks for the answers.
