Pressure Regulators
The water system operates at a very high pressure; as a result all domestic water services require a pressure regulator valve (PRV). A properly working PRV provides protection from high pressure which can cause household fixtures to malfunction and puts undo stress on household piping. The PRV is a bell shaped device and is usually installed within 2 feet of the meter on the customers' side. PRVS are preset by the manufacturer and usually do not need to be adjusted. Incorrectly adjusting the PRV could cause pressure that is too low or too high inside the home. The Winston-Dillard Water District personnel can not make repairs or adjust the PRV. The PRV is a part of the homeowners' private water system; we recommend you have a qualified plumber make all repairs and adjustments.
