Why Water Pressure Drops In North City
Officials explain low pressure stems from an eight inch main along the hill inadequately sized for demand. Water flows from a twelve inch line, reduces to ten, then eight, with some north sections using ten inch mains. New water is very soft, measured at forty three parts hardness per million, gentler than former supply. Currently raw river water goes directly to filtration basins, skipping sedimentation.
