Heres whats happening, I had a regulator go bad (no water at all),replaced that and while setting concrete box back in I broke county water line.They come out and fixed it, went to house let lines outside run clear....ok have good pressure (65) for about 15 seconds then drops to 16 when small valve for bathroom sink open. Not using water it stayed at 65, I figured the county clogged my new regulator with their repair so I took it loose from line and made sure there were no obstructions ran good , plenty of water, great pressure put it back together ,now at house I have steady pressure of 16psi with no build up of pressure like before...here a few things to consider, from meter, line does cross under dirt road travels 900ft to house with an elevation increase of 35ft, line is 1' 1/4 pvc reduces to 3/4 about three foot from house not sure if its sched 40 or the 200... pressure and flow have never been great ,figured it was the climb up hill, but its never been like this. Any ideas???
