    It's been two weeks ! No water pressure for two weeks ? Certainly you have already called the city or whomever supplies your water to see if there is maybe a water main / pump broken or temp out of service? If you have called and they said no, then have you looked at where you think the main line feeds into your home. If so, did you see any wet spots on the ground on your property? I am thinking the main line on your property might have busted. I am no plumber so maybe a plumber or someone with more info than me can help if they read this.

    The Bond Man gave you good advice. Call the utilities company to find out if any work involving opening up the water main has been done about the time that you lost pressure. It could be that dirt got in the main and when your house made a draw the soil got sucked up into your system where it's now clogging it. Also, have you gone out to the water meter and checked to see if the little pointer's racing around? Let us know, Tom
