The water pressure within the City of Bremerton’s distribution system can range from about 30 pounds per square inch (psi) to over 100 psi at the customer’s water meter. Water pressure at your location depends on the elevation of your property in relation to the elevation of the reservoir that provides water service for your area. Water pressure will change up or down at 0.433psi per foot of elevation change. The higher your property is, the lower the pressure. Peak water usage and routine water system operations can cause water pressure in the distribution system to fluctuate but these changes should not adversely affect your water service. Other variables that may affect water pressure include plumbing restrictions, point of use treatment devices (cartridge filters, softeners, etc.) and seasonal water demands.

The City cannot adjust the water pressure for specific properties; however, if you have concerns with high pressure or low pressure, there are some steps you can take that may help resolve the issue.

If your home water system does not have a PRV, you can purchase them from a licensed plumber, who can install the PRV. If a PRV already exists, it may just need an adjustment to decrease the pressure at the property. If you’re existing PRV is malfunctioning (Pressure drop or spike) it is the property owners responsibility to repair or replace. The City recommends that you consult a licensed plumber for installation, adjustments, and service to your PRV and that the City of Bremerton Design/Construction Standards be followed to ensure proper PRV installation. Call 360-473-5920 for a copy of the PRV section of the City’s standards.

Decreased water pressure usually denotes a plumbing problem. If you're experiencing a decrease in water pressure at your property, the issue is typically within your plumbing system. The following list may help you identify the cause of the low pressure at your property.

Most plumbing professionals recommend a PRV setting be between 35 and 60 psi. If allowed by jurisdictions, PRV settings may be set to achieve psi levels between 55 and 70 in order for all fixtures to have adequate operational pressure. Sustained pressure that exceeds 80 psi may damage on-site plumbing systems and fixtures such as toilets, dishwashers and washing machines. PRVs are to be installed on the customer’s side of the water meter outside the water meter box or in the main supply line before the first fixture branch.
