Wedgwood is known for having high water pressure. High water pressure can cause serious problems, such as leaks in your plumbing, and shorten the life of your water heater, dishwasher, and washing machine etc. Plus, it can increase your water bills. Banging pipes, running toilets, dripping faucets and running out of hot water very quickly all indicate that the pressure is too high.

There is a code for how low water pressure can be, but not how high water pressure can be, so the city isn’t going to do anything about it. It’s up to the homeowner to install a Water Pressure Regulator to protect your home.
