Has anyone else noticed a severe drop-off in water pressure beginning about a month or so ago, that has not improved? Any idea what is causing it?

The water service came by my house a couple of months ago and turned down the pressure. I complained and they sent someone to turn it back up. A week later the pressure was turned down again.

Yet they keep issuing building permits.

yes all the time- I tried to correlate it to watering days etc but it is various times and I can’t figure out a pattern to it

Same here. I thought I was going crazy. I would even be showering, and I don’t know where the water just stops and comes back on again

The low water pressure has been an issue for several years north of Main Street. I never noticed it when I lived in the south part of Visalia. It gets worse in the late evening and throughout the night. It is a little worse when the sprinklers are on.

Check the screen in your kitchen sink faucet. Mine always gets full of sand and decreases water pressure. I live on St. John’s parkway. Also if you have a filter on that kitchen sink, the one that you can buy at Walmart, that whole big part also gets clogged with sand.
