    Toilet slow to fill
    At my inlaws last night I flushed the toilet. It fills very slowly and the other fixtures in the house lose pressure. Pressure returns once the tank fills. The toilet is at the end of the plumbing run. Any suggestions?

    How old is the house? What type of piping? Copper, plastic or galvanized? What size are the mains? Pump or city water? In short, we need more details. Regards, tom

    The house is 50+ with copper supply on city water. It seems that the problem has occurred over the last few days.

    Call the city and see if the street pressure has been dropped. Ask what the street pressure is at your meter. Let me know, Tom
