you on a well or municiple system? Sudden pressure loss in municiple area may be a water line break elsewhere. In a well it may have to do with the pump or pressure tank if you have one.

Are you on a well, with a pump, or city water.?
If the first, check the switch that turns the pump on when the pressure drops, and off when it is sufficient. It may be defective, and costs very little to replace.
If the second, you may have experienced a water main break: or the fire Dept may be using water for a fire up-stream of you, or you might not have paid your water bill. Good luck

You don't give enough information. Are you on a well? city water?
well--check pump-check power to pump
city--call the city to see if they have a problem. there is a check valve between the meter and your house. If the check valve goes bad it could cause yo to not have any pressure. as far as no water check your neighbor's water pressure-if they have water then it's specific to hour house. is it both hot and cold? if you've got cold but not hot it's probably your water heater. if nothing then it's either
1. a break--check the meter if it's running and you have no water-it's a break in your line
2. no water and meter's not running-probably a bad check valve check to be sure the valve is not turned off-there should be a bar by the meter if it is turned cross-ways to the line then it's turned off-it should be in line with the pipe.

If you live in a house your water might be shut off at the main valve (normally at the street). Make sure all water sources are shut off (wash. mach, sinks, don't flush toilets, dish washer, etc.) Walk to the meter box, take off the lid and use a flash light TONIGHT and look at the meter box. If when all of your sources are shut off and the meter arm is spinning you have a leak somewhere...possibly a slab leak (if you have a slab foundation) or a line breakage underneath your house (if you have a pier and beam). Good Luck!!!! Sounds pretty serious unless someone just shut your water off to be rude!!!! REMEMBER if it is a slab leak or burst pipe under the house...these can be extensive in price....call your insurance company BEFORE any repairs are made!!!! It would be worth it! :)

Since you have a well I would say you have to check a few things.
Did your pump lose it's prime? Did a pipe break? Did the well run dry or water level in the well get too low? Make sure all connections to the pump (in and out) are airtight. Good luck.

first of all , are you on a well system or city water? If a well check for power supply, then your pressure switch to see if its set correctly . If city water check to see if theres a problem that they have cut water because of a main break or other emergency.
