Here in 2019, Massachusetts has a minimum wage of $12/hour, while New Hampshire has a minimum wage of $7.25/hour.
Similarly, Massachusetts municipal water comes out your kitchen sink at maybe 95-psi, while the New Hampshire kitchen sink supplied by an individual well, comes out at 30-50-psi. That's a big difference ..... that's a big difference ..... that's a big difference ...... slow & steady wins the race ...... that's the New Hampshire Advantage ..... Live Free or Die!
Massachusetts is simply higher powered .... and is what powers up the NH economy.

Each community is different and the location of your home to the primary main or pump station can make a difference in water pressure. Anything over 75# should have a pressure reducing valve on it. I've seen homes with 100+ pounds on a gauge and a few streets over 50#! It's got nothing to do with minimum wage or Massachusetts...
