Does the water table affect your water pressure?

Not at all.

No effect. My pump turns on when the holding/air tank pressure drops to 30 PSI and turns off when it reaches 50 PSI. It can never get out of that range, unless the well runs completely dry and then the pump would run forever or until it overheated and shut off automatically. .

I like this question.
The other day I went to water my flowers and the hose stood up off the patio and sprayed me right in the face like it had a mind of its own. We have also had a lot of rain, lately, and our water pressure is usually nothing special. I was sort of hoping the answer was going to be yes.

Nope.

I don’t see why it would.

It’s not supposed to, at least if you have city (i.e. piped and purified) water. That’s because the city water plant outputs at a particular pressure, and distributed pumps ensure that the same water pressure is maintained even if you live far away.

It’s more likely that this is pure coincidence – maybe there was a broken pump that was fixed, or the water company changed some setting.

The other possibility is that your water pressure regulator (a small, about 6-inch device installed on your water line mounted just inside the house where the line enters) has finally given up the ghost. They last for about 20 years and then go kaput. If your pressure regulator stopped working, you would see the results you describe.

@Dutchess_III – at Home Depot or Lowes you can get a water pressure measuremenrt device ( about $12)

If your pressure is consistently high – over about 50–55 psi – you can do serious damage to your water pipes, especially if they are plastic.
