Hi All, I did a little house out on Bainbridge Island yesterday that is about 40' from a 40' tall municipal water tower. You can understand why I was a little puzzled when pressure in the home was akin to a that seen in a 50 year old home plumbed with galvanized pipe occluded like my veins. The kicker is that all of it, from the meter in, was either plastic or copper. It was a do-it-yourselfer system. Service line is 3/4 inch and that close to the tank probably should have been slammin'. I couldn't get to the secondary shutoff valve for the system because the homeowner had placed a single wooden step up to a wood porch over the top of it and it would have required that I disassemble the step in order to get to it. No way was I going to do that. I suspect though that the secondary shutoff may not be a full-bore valve. Any other ideas out there? ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike
