Good to know about water pressure repair
According to the Acton Water District, Massachusetts plumbing codes require pressure-reducing valves to be installed on new or remodeled residential plumbing where water pressure exceeds 80 psi; the District itself cannot alleviate high pressure, so homeowners should have a licensed plumber assess it.
actonwater.comThe Acton (MA) Water District notes that homes at a geographically low point or near a water pumping station may experience pressure higher than 80 psi, and that sustained pressure above 80 psi can damage on-site plumbing systems and may affect fixtures.
actonwater.comA pressure reducing valve (PRV) lowers incoming pressure to protect plumbing; Acton Water advises talking to a plumber before adjusting one and having a licensed plumber assess high pressure.
