    Loss in water pressure this morning
    This morning I was in the shower and the water pressure dropped to a little stream of water. I got out and checked all my faucets-same thing pressure dropped. I checked outside of the house to see an visible signs of a leak-nothing, even at the main water line-no leaks or cracks. 30 minutes later the pressure is back up to normal-full stream. The sprinkler systems worked also-no problems. Before I left for work I check on the toilet-flushed and turned on a faucet, the pressure was okay. Just wondering what may have caused the drop in water pressure. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Are you on a pump or city water?

    This happens to me once a year when the city flushes the fire hydrants on my street. Makes for a pretty brisk shower when the hot water stops.
