Low/no water pressure
My water is out, as is my neighbors. It went out around 12:00pm today
For several days there has been water streaming out of the water tank at the corner of the bypass and 17th street. Water has been flowing across the street for several days - I assume someone else has already reported this but submitting this just in case.
The psi coming to the house is reading way too high--a plumber came out and measured the water pressure at 120 psi, which is way too high. According to the plumber, it has been potentially causing several problems in our house recently, including water heater valves to break on our new water heater, dishwasher leaks that led to us replacing the unit, pipes to leak, various faucet problems and damage to several parts of the house. After dealing with HVAC related to this yesterday, this morning we've discovered a leak in our kitchen plumbing that is now causing additional damage to the cabinetry. The plumber reported that high psi measurements are happening all over our end of town due to the city turning up the water pressure to accommodate new development. The city needs to address this issue, as it's posing a risk to so many of the existing homes in the area.
Constant water discharge from MC Highway Dept Outlet 43 pictured above. Inspection of first upstream storm drain (690) of outlet 43 revealed no flow. Property owner reported that CBU has previously repaired water line between outlet 43 and storm drain 690. Water discharge is at a constant rate, even during periods of dry weather.
No water -- faucets do not work, toilets will not flush
Water is off why? It is 6:22 pm was on at 4:45, I have animals that will need water and its one of the worst days to be without.
No water. Last water was about an hour and a half ago
No water is there a main break or something
