Does a PWA have the authority to deny new water taps in an area that is already suffering from low water pressure and other issues if that new tap would act to hurt current customers?

The ODEQ has a standard for the minimum standard for water pressure to household taps. If you fail to meet that standard then they may consider issuing a consent order for compliance.  I would suggest checking with odeq for the minimum pressure and then test your system and get an engineer to determine the injury to system from additional taps.
