Does 90 psi require a pressure reducing valve?

Posted by mike gerard on May 26, 2004 at 09:39:43:
I have 90 psi pressure measured in my basement. According to the town and the water company I dont need a pressure reducing valve at that pressure (I did not think to ask what pressure I would need one). I'm somewhat surprised by this because they are pretty particular about sprkinler systems (RPP valves are required as is a yearly test by the water company) Does that seem too high? Am I going to have long term damage to my appliances with 90 psi? Thanks, Mike
