    The overlook section of Broadlands- Water Pressure Issues?

    Is anyone else having water pressure issues in the Overlook section of the Broadlands? Our water pressure seems to be really bad tonight.

    Is anyone else having issues with their water pressure?

    For all those fellow residents who live up on the hill in the North section of Broadlands. We are experiencing very low water pressure. Is anybody else having problems? This has to do with the pumps they (LCSA) installed by the water towers. We have gotten the run around and different stories from the same guy at LCSA. He told some of our neighbors different stories and flat out lied to each of us. The pressure decreased significantly this afternoon and has not been restored to the "normal" levels. They initially said that the pumps were fine and then they told other neighbors that they were working on the pumps today and they will check into it. To top it off they told other neighbors that no one had reported anything out of the ordinary.

    Great Customer Service.

    We also had the low water pressure and live up on top of the hill. This morning, however, the pressure seemed back to normal. Im glad, we lived with the low water pressure for a couple years before they installed those pumps. The pressure was so low it was ridiculous.

    There have been a few times when the pumps were off and the pressure was low. They usually have had it resolved quickly.

    I had low water pressure last Friday morning, it seemed as if the washing machine was filling while in my shower, but the rest of the house was asleep, and it was for the entire time, so it wasn't just another toilet flushing, strange. Is this one of those cases of the pumps being off?

    Not sure if it's related, but we consistently have extremely low water pressure outside. The sprinkler barely gets high enough for the kids to run through it. Also, sometimes during the day the pressure in the house dips for a bit, but then returns to normal. Talked to Loudoun Water (formerly LCSA) and they said that for the water pressure on the outside to be turned up a bit, ALL of the neighbors on the street have to call in and request it. Then they'll consider it. PITA if you ask me.

    What street are you on, or 'close' to?
