I checked all my water pipes in the basement I have all the main line at 3/4" and the distribution lines that go to the faucets at 1/2". I think at the end I probably have a clogged filter. The water company told me I should get a plumber to check it out. My thought is - why wouldn't the water company do this themselves if the filter is located on the line before the meter. Isn't that the water company's line and their responsibility? Anyways, I think this is the only thing that it could be.
Does anyone know how I could check and clean this filter myself in the main line? I have 2 levers to shut off the water before the water meter. Is the filter in between those 2 levers or before that?
Anyone have any advice as to where this filter is and how I can clean this myself?
Thanks

Ask the water company if they checked this screen on there side of the meter, some places will not check this and require you or a licensed plumber to check it and make sure it isnt clogged
