    Water main was off now there's no water in kitchen faucet
    Our water main was shut off for a week. Now that water has been restored we have water running everywhere except the kitchen faucet is a mere dribble. I removed the sprayer head and it's still only a dribble. Both shut offs are completely open. Any thoughts?

    What's happened is the in repairing the main they allowed some dirt to get into the system and you were unlucky enough to made the first draw pulling it into your system.
    The solution would be to flush it out of your pipes.
    First, remove the aerator off the spot and try now. Still no water? Then shut the water off at the stops and open up the faucet, Pull the cartridge and check and clean the inlet ports. Now place a pan over the faucet and turn the water back on. You should have a full stream when you do. If not click back and tell me. Good luck, Tom
