    NO water pressure in our pipes after city flushing
    A few weeks back our City Water Utility turned off the water to flush the system. After they turned it back on, the main floor bathroom sink, hot & cold along with the toilet have extremely LOW pressure, down to a drizzle. I called the Water Utility company and they said sometimes when flushing that something might get caught in your pipes. Not sure if we need to snake this or if the clog is out in the street leading up to the house or if it's inside of the house. The city also said that they would possibly reimburse us for the cost of a plumber. Is there anything I can do to get the pressure back or is the a plumber only job. Both HOT and COLD in the bathroom sink are affected along with the upstairs toilet, but the sink up there is OK.
    Thank you,
    Steve

    Remove the aerators on the end of the spout and see if they are plugged. Not an uncommon event. Does the tub run OK, that's a hint it may be aerators if the tub works.
