Any pressure above 80 psi has to be regulated. It's an international code to save water. With most of Bellingham on metered water now, the difference in your billed usage between 140 psi and 60 psi is considerable.

Bellingham Water Pressure
Update to a post of a few days ago. I added a water pressure regulator to this building's incoming service. The new pressure is at 70 psi from 140 psi.

Pressure Regulator in South Bellingham
In the decades I've been a licensed Journeyman Plumber, I've been in some of the nicest homes in the most exotic neighborhoods in Washington.
Every once in a while, this place can still make me pause.
The first picture is the home's crawl space, otherwise known as Chuckanut Bay. I had to do the jobs while the tide was out or else wear scuba gear.
Picture 2 is the old regulator (PRV) that during high tide was inches away from being submerged.
Picture 3 is the new PRV I installed plus a ball valve.
