What does it mean when the water stops running in all faucets for up to a minute or two?
Is there something wrong with the plumbing? It happens in all faucets, shower, and washing machine.
Thanks!

How often does this happen? Once a month, week, day? Does the pressure start to diminish, prior to this happening? We need more info to try and solve this one! Good luck!
If this is happening to all faucets at the same time, it must be a problem with the supply. Which would be most peculiar; I have never heard of such a case. One thing to do is to verify that your system is leak-free; with no water running in the house, verify that the water meter is showing no flow. Then talk to your supplier.
That is certainly strange. My first thought is that you forgot to pay the bill, but if that is not the problem maybe the water company had something to do with it. You can ask them to check it out for free.
It sounds like you have a leak in an outside pipe. You didn’t say if you were on city water or on a well. If you have a well you need to look in your well pit. Or look between the house and the well and see if you find any wet spots on the ground. If your on city water, compair you water bill with a few neighbors that have the same amount of people living there and see if yours is really high. If it is I would call the city to come and check it out.
This can happen for a few different reasons if you have well water, are in a rural area, or on a hill with a city water supply at the bottom. This would if any of these are true you probably have a water pump. The pump could be having problems or your well is going dry.
It means the water meter man was sent out to turn off someones water and got your address mixed up with the right one and as soon as he turned your water off he realized it was the wrong house and turned it right back on.
No, really, this is rather strange. Never heard of it before. Is the water bubbly or not clear when it comes back on? Does it just suddenly go off or does it loose pressure slowly and then stop? When it comes back on does it have a lot of pressure, more than usual or does it come back slow? Is it from a well or city supplied???
This is common if you have a lack of water pressure,and water lines not properly sized.Normally it is best to have a 1inch line or larger suppling your home.Once in your home 3/4inch lines up to the point it goes to the fixture(faucet)then 1/2inch lines just before it is hooked in.If the house only has 1/2 inch water lines you could be taking a shower while the washing machine is on and lose all water in the shower when the washer kicks on.
This is kind of difficult to answer without knowing if you have a municipal water supply or a well…However, here goes. If you have a well, it could be a few problems but this may get you started. First, wells work by pumping water up from the ground…Most wells use something called a foot valve. This valve pushes water up to the level of your home. When there is no call for water, a check valve inside the foot valve still keeps water in the line all the way up to your home. If this valve is bad, water will slowly ‘leak’ back into the well and out of the pipe. When you open a faucet and ‘call’ for water, the pump must now kick on and begin to push water up from its depths. This sounds like it could be your problem. The few minutes it takes to get water from your faucets is probably the amount of time the pump needs to get the water back up to your home. Replacing and/or repairing this valve is quite a task. Depending on the depth of the well, this tubing must be pulled up to ground level so that the foot valve at the bottom can be worked on. It can be quite a tiring affair pulling it up by hand. Good luck…I hope that I have helped you…Oh, and if you have a municipal water supply, you should have your municipality send someone out to determine the problem. Most times, they will come out for free and let you know what needs to be fixed. At least if you need to hire a plumber, you will have some knowledge of the job at hand and be more informed…
