The short answer
Rowland Heights has a median build year of 1975 across its housing. That is late enough for copper and early enough for polybutylene in places, which is why the pattern of the symptom is worth establishing before anybody is called out.

Rowland Heights has 13,793 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1975 — the most useful single fact for working out why the water pressure is weak, because it predicts what the supply pipe is made of.

What 1975 tells you about the pipe in Rowland Heights
Housing of this vintage generally means copper as the usual supply material, so corrosion narrowing the pipe is far less likely. In houses of this era a whole-house pressure drop points at the pressure-reducing valve, the main shut-off, or the supply side of the meter rather than at the pipe itself. More on 1970s supply pipe.
65% of occupied homes in Rowland Heights are owner-occupied, 12 points above the CA figure of 53%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.

The first thing to establish in Rowland Heights is whether the problem is the house or one fixture, and it takes two minutes of walking around. Housing of this era can be copper throughout or copper with polybutylene in part, and the two fail differently enough that the pattern matters. Normal is 45–80 psi, under 40 psi is low — test it. Whole house is a call; one tap usually is not.
