    Humming / Vibration
    Have humming and vibration noise in water supply line that happens even when no water is being used. All the neibores on my street are all having the same problem. Could this be a water Dept. issue?

    It sure could be a issue for The Water Department. Could this be a pump in a lift station going bad and setting up a "sympathetic vibration ion the city main? Have you contacted them and what did they say? Back to you, Tom

    This problem is not steady all the time .It comes and goes off and on everyday. Some days are worst than others. Its seems to happen more often in the late afternoon to 8to10 at night. One bad thing is every time the water dept. comes out its 1am or later and they say there is nothing wronge.
