Default Water Pressure

We live just south of 466 and mysteriously last Thursday we noticed a substantial increase in our water pressure which continues to today to our delight. Anyone?

I'm just north of 466A. I looked at the gauge on my Nova filter system and the pressure is a few lbs. lower than normal. The difference is not noticeable at the faucets.

One reason for increased water pressure is a bad hot water heater expansion tank????

as the water heats up it increases pressure though out the whole home if not working properly.

get a tire gauge to check the tank
