If you begin experiencing low water pressure, sediment displaced during the connection may be trapped in the water meter or faucet aerator (the screen at the end of the faucet). Contact the Resident Engineer who will arrange for Public Works to clean the meter. If there is air in the water line, you should run your water for a few minutes from a few different locations in your house. This will help flush the system and expel any air that is trapped. The Resident Engineer should be contacted if flushing does not correct the problem.
