Did the water pressure tank at your house once you moved water towers? I don't notice it so much in the shower, but our kitchen sink is easily half the pressure. We were moved from the HEB water tower to the new one by Scott and White. I didn't know anything about it, hubs said he saw some kind of notice.

Just wondering if others are experiencing the same.

Could be you have the low flow taps and shower heads.

We cut the thing out in the shower head.

The water pressure changed in the past week or so when we were moved water towers. Been in our house 15 years without issue.

40psi in Pebble Creek in the early AM.
04:30-06:30 has been extremely low pressure for quite some time now. Use to have 90+ psi and would need pressure reducing valves.

We have Wellborn Water but somehow it is serviced by the College Station Scott & White tower through some agreements between the two. Have had constant low pressure issues for a while and Wellborn Water says nothing they can do as the S&W tower isn't providing near as much pressure as the tower point one. Not sure if true, but the service guys that have been out multiple times say the tower is shorter than the tower point one which is causing the lower pressures. Our pressure varies from 35-50psi depending on time of day which is "within spec" by their standards but causes issues with our irrigation system when on the lower side of that range.

We were expecting pressure improvements with a new water tower being added to the system and instead it's slowly gotten worse. Paying more for less.

But they are so pretty!

I did want to update - it was an "us" issue, not the water. I guess the faucet had big time mineral deposit or something cause water hardly was coming out. But it is all fixed.
