    Might be down to mains pressure reduction, kitchen tap is usually fed direct from the mains while others may not be.

    First step would be to have a look on your water companies website to see if there are any problems in your area, you could also ask a neighbour if they are experiencing the same issue.

    If you don't find joy in the snow,
    remember you'll have less joy in your life


    ...but still have the same amount of snow!

    No problems on water company web and checked with neighbours and they're fine!

    any other ideas?
  • If its not low mains pressure then its either;

    A leak,
    A faulty tap,
    Or someone has turned the mains stopcock down.
