Poor water pressure in kitchen

[Mini Horses]

Do you have a pressure tank between well and house?

ANY chance the well is drying up? Most of us have had so much rain that ground is saturated but, if the well tip is bad, you may be getting junk that way.

Do you have an outlet near the well, in line before going into your house plumbing? If so, you could turn that on & let it run a few and see if pressure is good there....then pretty much leaves the well itself in good stead.

All other suggestions, yep..sounds like plan. Have fun.

we have city water

WHAT?? You live "in town" With acreage? interesting.

Heck, I can't even get most internet where I am and I don't consider myself terribly "rural". No trash pick up, either. I mean nice little town 5 miles away, larger ones 20 and then over crowded 30 and beyond. Mail delivery at road though

We also think it is the faucet causing the low pressure, but @Lazy Gardener, thanks for the suggestion! We will certainly check that. We have not dealt with it all yet.
At the same time, we're having some issues with the water heater. We've got lots of medical stuff going on this week, but hopefully Saturday we can address both issues.
It's probably a waste of time to replace the faucet only to later flush the water heater. I'd like to do the water heater first, get the sediment issue addressed, and then deal with the faucet. We're getting so much sediment right now that I have to clean the shower head every time I take a shower.
It's an old house with plenty of things to fix (the wiring is SCARY!) But yes, @wyoDreamer, i am technically "in town" but we are at the very edge not only of the town but of the county. Our property was sold as multi-purpose and we are pretty unlimited to what we can have here, except for some reason, swine of any kind are outlawed. Just a few lots down (toward "town") everything is commercial property. So we have city water, trash pickup, mail delivery but for all practical purposes, still live in the country. We can burn brush any time we want, and our roosters are not an issue. The back of our property is all wooded, and a small creek runs through between us and the road. Our chickens free range, and we planted an orchard, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, kiwi and a large garden. We also have grapes, black walnut, and pecans. We have stuff growing all over the property. We hope to add bees so we've been planting things so something is in bloom most of the year. And we're thinking of adding a few sheep.
The property is worth having to fix up the house.
