    Fix water pressure
    I have more of a problem in the winter than I do in the summer. The water company came over yesterday to check my water pressure from the outside coming into the house said it was fine. I told them there was still a problem. They to check the (water reducer) I obviously don't know what that is or where to find it. What can I do to fix my water pressure problem. The house is 29 years old and it used to have well water know in takes municipal water up until 4 years ago. I purchased the home 2 and 1/2 years ago.
