    NO water in my house but Water out front spigot
    I have water pumping out my front spigot with a lot of air in the hose. But I don't have any water coming out of the faucets in my house. The pressure is there and a sort of mist is coming out of the faucet, but it seems as though there is water in the lines. I am on city water and my neighbor said that the water was turned off earlier. This happened about a month ago when the building of a new Walmart caused damage to a water main, but the water came back on as usual. Can anyone help me figure what is wrong?

    The water may not have been turned back on. Would check with the city to see if the pipe has been fixed yet.

    Let's start at the basics first....

    First thing to try is to remove the aerator at the end of the kitchen and the bathroom sink... See picture and click on that attachment at the bottom left: aerator2.pdf

    Start by trying to untwist the aerator out clockwise. If they are stubborn just bite down on them with a pair of pliers and loosen that way.

    Once removed, clear all debris/sediment, turn water on at sink to confirm full flow water, and then reinstall the aerator back in place.

    Let me know what happens... MARK
