Sorry man My community is on common water and if one line breaks, all 14 of us go without. 40+ y/o pipes nearly 95 psi line pressure, and an above average summer had water shooting out of driveways three times this year. Also had the austin water contamination issue mixed in for good measure. We now store about 22-25 gallons of water in case we do this again next year.

AustinBike Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 95 PSI? Amateurs 😉 Our pressure is so high that we have limiters at the house. I think ours is like 120 or so because we are near hospitals (allegedly). And the old pipes in our neighborhood break all the time here but the pressure never drops after the repairs are done.

Most have regulators but that only helps the interior pipes and appliances. Unfortunately all the failures are common lines. We are trying to get the HOA to pay to have main supply pressure reduced but they're your typical geriatric HOA who's afraid to commit to anything. Meanwhile we spent over 20k admiring the problem.

TheX Posted December 29, 2019 Author Share Posted December 29, 2019 At least this is on the city, and before our water meter. The guy dropped the wireless remote for the vacuum truck, and it got sucked into the truck it is supposed to control. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
