Water pressure determines the flow of water from the tap. The amount of pressure at
your tap can depend on how high the service reservoir or water tower is above your
home, or on how much water other customers are using. The height of your property
can also affect your water pressure. Diagram 8 shows a water tank that supplies
water to a three storey building.
