I never got my Westy to accept City water in ten years.
Seems that you need an inline regulator at about $12.00 from most RV
suppliers.
It just screws onto the water port between the hose.
I bought the regulator but never used it so I can't declare that it's a true
fix.
The State parks I camped at had lower water pressure and they normally
flowed OK through the system.
