A couple of weeks ago, I noticed reduced water flow. I had it checked by water company. The indicated all is fine on their side. About 8 gallons a minute, as tested through my meter. On my side I see about 4 gallons a minute. Rep told me that it could be pressure control valve. My neighbor has PCV close to meter box. So I dug around a little, but did not find valve on my side.
Q:If indeed I have one of these valves where else might it be installed?
Q:If I don’t have one of these PCV’s, what else could be the problem?
Thank You in Advance!

Prv could be located inside of building where main water line shut off valve is.
Another point taken is the prv can become clogged through a integral strainer and cause this device to greatly restrict flow.
Once you locate this valve, check for this strainer built-in to device.
Numerous stop and waste valves will also cause flow restrictions in a home.
