If you have water pressure and wish to maintain it, do not cause flow in the line, which will reduce pressure due to friction. To keep pressure up, reduce friction by increasing the line size or eliminating some other restriction.
To maintain water pressure in the line, it might have a pressure transmitter and Booster pump to maintain the set Pressure in the network & I disagree the above answer to maintain the pressure we shouldn't increase the line size by reducing the line size we can increase/Maintain the pressure to overcome the losses in the Network

What type of pump used for water mist system?
it uses centrifugal pump type to maintain pressure of 120 kg/cm2
What is the purpose of a water tower?
The purpose of a water tower is to maintain constant water pressure in a water distribution system.so people can have running water i there houseThe above is true, but there is more to the story.Water towers function as storage cisterns for water and also serve to equalize water pressure between times of heavy and light usage.Water could be sent directly to homes and factories using pumps, but this would result in large differences in pressure during times of fluctuating useage since the pumps would be unable to compensate quickly for the increased/decreased demand.The water tower serves as a buffer zone, supplying water at exactly the same pressure (gravitational pull, which is constant) throughout the day regardless of useage, and the pumps can easily respond to lower levels as needed
What does water pressure mean?
Water pressure refers to the pressure of water in a system. In a home it will be 30-50 psi typically and this is governed by the municipal pressure or by a well tank.
What is the difference between water injection and water flooding?
I do not think that there is any difference. Petroleum engineers normally inject water into an oil reservoir to maintain the reservoir pressure (and hence the ability of the reservoir to pump oil to the surface). In the process and if the water injection wells are properly located, the injected water normally sweeps (pushes out) out more oil effectively flooding the reservoir and increasing the amount of oil that is recovered from the reservoir. This incremental oil will otherwise be left behind in the reservoir. Hence, in an oil reservoir where the natural aquifer is large and strong enough to maintain the reservoir pressure, water injection is unlikely to significantly increase the oil recovery from the reservoir.
House water pressure?
House water pressure should be around 50-60 psi.
