60 to 90 should be street pressure with a house PRV taking it down to a normal house pressure of 35 to 45 psi.

John, does your home have a whole house water filter installation that could be clogged? Did the water department have to shut off your house curb stop to repair the water main? That might not be fully opened?

Home Depot and Lowes sells pressure gauges that you install to a outside faucet where you can accurately measure water pressure in the house distribution system...be interesting to know what you read (the gauges are about $10).

Also call your water department as they have people they can send out to assist at no charge...at least that's what I did 40 years ago when I worked for a water department.
