City water at 50# is typically more pressure than a water pump supplies (45#)
The city water inlet is restricting the flow.......check valve not fully opening or inlet washer/screen plugged.
The check valve is a plastic plunger/spring/o-ring assembly. O-ring gets dislodged and or plunger gets cocked then full flow can not happen.
Hose connection washer/screen if plugged up.........restricted flow.
After water gets pasts those two items t flows thru same system as water pump
