Lower than Normal Water Pressure
- Check to see if the water pressure is low throughout the home or just in certain areas.
- If just a few areas are affected, remove and clean the faucet screens
- Check to see if a shut-off valve is partially closed
- If you have a water softener, verify it is operating properly
If you have made all of the above checks and are still experiencing problems, there may be a restriction within your home’s plumbing. A plumber may need to be contacted to remove the restriction.
You may also contact the Cedar Rapids Water Division at 319-286-5900 to see if there are other possibilities. Occasionally, system operations such as main line repairs or line flushing will cause the pressure to be lower than normal.
