Try adjusting the hydrant, if that doesn't work replace the hydrant.
At first I thought it was a total flow issue, but now it sounds like just a hydrant problem.
I have a hydrant at the front of one of my poultry barns, over the years it's got slower and slower till now it only runs at half stream.
Don't know if I'll get it replaced this year or wait till next spring.
When they fixed your water system did they put as big of a pressure tank back in as what you previously had, the bigger the better.
We have 2 wells, one suppling the poultry barns and a couple of cattle waterers, that pump free flow fills a 40,000 gallon concrete reservoir with 2 pumps suppling the buildings and waterers.
The other supplies water to 5 homes and a couple of cattle waterers. We each have 1200-1500 gallon concrete reservoirs and pumps at our houses that the home well keeps filled, this helps to prevent low flow issues when more than one is using water at the same time.
The pressure tank for the home well is 44 gallons the one for the poultry barns is 119 gallon, the tank for my house pump is 20 gallon.
