I have hear of the town making people remove the pumps, because it affects their neighbors water.
Around here most city water pressure delivered to the house is 120 psi which then requires a Pressure reducing valve (PRV)
When I install or replace a PRV it is adjustable and I set pressure between 65-70 psi

If the town is making people remove pumps because it affects neighbors?? (this makes no sense to me)
It sounds like the towns water distribution system is in great need of up grade
