Pressure is the force that pushes water through pipes.
Water pressure determines the flow of water from the tap. If pressure is not sufficient then the flow can reduce to a trickle and it will take a long time to fill a kettle or a cistern. For some customers the problem is caused by sharing a supply pipe from the water main. They have joint responsibility for the maintenance of the supply pipe Houses B and C have a shared supply pipe and have joint responsibility for maintenance of any part of the pipe that is shared. Houses D, E and F are terraced houses with a shared supply pipe.
