One particular municipal system had a pressure drop of about 15 psi that affected a 13R system I designed for a group home. The water company sent a letter to the AHJ saying our design was inadequate for the available water. We had records from the quarterly inspections documenting when the pressure dropped (about a year after the job was done). I don't know all the details, but it went away and I believe the pressure is back.
