Home Improvement: Minor Water Leakage

[kap]

Lavatory faucet was dripping so I replaced the rubber washer. The leakage stops but the water pressure is really weak. Oddy, during the work I turned off the main water line but the water kept flowing. Any idea? The main water shut-off is located on the sidewalk in front of our house. The same setup is with many homes in our town. TiA
