This was discovered when your water pressure was measured at your outside hose <br />spigot resulted with your water pressure being much lower than what the new PRV is set for. <br />Most likely this PRV is located inside your house where the water service enters your home. As <br />I noted in my earlier letter, PRVs are maintained by the homeowner. That is why we had no <br />knowledge that your home already had a PRV. The fact that your water pressure is low <br />suggests that either the PRV is set incorrectly or that it is malfunctioning. <br />Our records indicate your water service is about 20 years old. If your PRV was installed at the <br />same time it is likely that it is at, or beyond, its useful life and malfunctioning. Therefore, if you <br />want to improve the water pressure in your home, the City recommends you hire a plumber to <br />remove your existing PRV. <br />If you have any questions regarding this matter, please call me at (425) 257-7215 or Mark <br />Doucette at (425) 257-7231. <br />Sincerely, <br />Richard He i, P.E. <br />Senior Engineer <br />CITY OF EVERETT • 3200 Cedar Street • Everett, WA 98201 • (425) 257-8800 9 Fax (425) 257-8882 <br />
