unfortunately your pressure is governed by the cold mains pressure entering your property. the water provider is only required to bring you in a pressure of about .7 bar (off the top of my head) minimum.

you cannot pump the mains water.

there are measures that can be carried out to improve this but will prove to be expensive.
 
In my area it is 1 bar.......that i believe is standard but this may vary i am sure.

Although pressure is important don't forget flow rates too. I assume the 24 denotes the kilowattage? if so flow won't be particulary high anyway. As has been noted, it won't be easy to sort.....or cheap.
