If you have a dug well you probably have a shallow well pump like myself.There are pressure adjustments on the pump.Mine is set a little low at around 50 psi but it is sufficient.If your pump has a pressure gauge see what it says.If it shows a descent pressure,check to see if your fixtures strainers are clogged.Most sink faucet strainers unscrew at the end of the spigot.If the pump is cycling on and off as soon as you call for water than your bladder in your tank has probably lost inflation and can either be pumped up with a bicycle pump or if its no good then a new tank is in order.
