At least in the US they have good water pressure wherever you live, in the UK they call it a power shower , power showers are the normal over here.

They're not where ever I've lived, they're not.

If there's a water tower serving the town, that keeps decent pressure in the system. It's not always the case though; we rented a house on a well and the pressure was kind of crap.

I am sooooo looking forward to those areas when we start our travels.

Maybe the ghettos don't have good water pressure

If you plan to hit those towns in Maine, you should nip off exit 113 on I-295/95 towards Belfast and Lake St George, but when you get to China, nip right to Rockland, then it's all Rt1 coastal connector backrounds out through the rest of the towns out to Bar Harbor and they're cracking little towns and sea drive. There's also a fantastic little pub in Lincolnvile called the Whales Tooth, worth checking out for lunch

Charming.

Haven't had to sink that far yet.

I will definitely be asking for 'special' places/areas from the peeps on here, once we start out. depending on how 'nice' the taxman is this morning, we are looking at cutting ties here just after Christmas this year!

That thread might be worth a browse as there's a good list of towns across the country people have recommended

Thank you sweety....popped it into my bookmarks!

Our last house had a well and septic system. After 12 years of poor pressure upstairs, I learned you could adjust the pump relay mechanism and increase the pressure. Shortly after that, I found out where the builders had nailed dry wall and siding nails into water pipes when the house was built, the increase in pressure started them all leaking.....

Bloody hell

Welshgator

That's what I said too. I've always found the expression about the road to hell being paved with good intentions is quite true. I try not to do any good things anymore...

Not so, alas

Agreed, alas

+1, alas

The "ghetto" of Beverly Hills certainly doesn't, alas
Garden sprinklers pop up gasping for water....tricle....trickle
But all's well in "ghetto" today. It rained last night

Still not found anywhere that looks like this.. Castle Combe in Wiltshire

Some of the strip mall stores have fake half-timbering on the front only There's one near us I call 'Shakespeare's house'.
