My incoming water supply is giving me between 95 and 100 psi. I was told that this is too much and should put in a pressure reduction valve just after the meter. Is this true?

Yes! Your pressure should be between 45 and 50 PSI. Too much house pressure puts a strain on pipe joints and fixture faucets. Install the PRV and drop the house pressure. Good luck, Tom
