I am totally baffled by this one ..... Water pressure was fine this morning, last used around noon. About 2:00pm I turn on the tap and there is very little water pressure (steady drip). So, I go check the pressure guage (48). Pump is in the well. Tap in the line at the water tank has lots of pressure. Nothing anywhere else in the house. No broken or damaged pipes that I can find. HELP!:wall:

Try cleaning out the screen (also called an aerator) on the faucet.

Do you have a filter in line before it goes into the house?
It may need changing.

Or, is there maybe a valve on the line coming into the house that may have gotten closed for some reason?

chafed wire down the well about 20 feet from the pump. Could have been a lot worse!:thumbup:
