The short answer
The median build year in Kersey is 1978, which is copper territory and sometimes copper with polybutylene in part of the run. Normal supply is 45 to 80 psi and under 40 psi is low, so a gauge on an outside tap settles whether this is a supply problem at all.
Sources: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates, table B25035; normal and low ranges as published by Grundfos in its homeowner guide to low water pressure.
Kersey has 884 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1978 — 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 1978 tells you about the pipe in Kersey
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.
78% of occupied homes in Kersey are owner-occupied, 13 points above the CO figure of 65%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.
Median household income across Kersey ZIP codes is $79,500, 23% below the CO median of $103,819.

The first thing to establish in Kersey 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.
