It can mean a number of things. If it is normally higher and has become low, you may have a leak or pinch in your water lines (can be caused by settling of dirt/rocks, digging, etc.) If it is normally low and there is clear flow, you may be too far from your tap to the main lines, have older smaller pipes, or other constricting circumstances. You can add flow regulating adapters to sinks, showers, nozzles, etc. or you can add a water storage unit. The storage will allow the water flow to fill a tank then push into the house with more force.
