Before calling anyone in La Canada Flintridge, check whether every tap is weak or just one. On housing this old a whole-house drop is the expected finding, because galvanized steel loses bore from the inside and loses it everywhere at once. Normal supply is 45–80 psi and under 40 psi is low — how to test it in a minute. Whole house is a supply problem worth a call; one tap is usually a five-minute job you can do yourself.
