What 1997 tells you about the pipe in Larkspur
Housing of this vintage generally means copper as standard and the last of the polybutylene, which stopped being installed in 1995. Pressure complaints in houses this age are more often about the pressure-reducing valve drifting out of adjustment than about the pipe. More on 1990s supply pipe.

Housing this new in Larkspur rarely has a materials problem, so the useful first step is the same one but the likely answer is different: count the weak taps, and if it is all of them look at the valve rather than the plumbing. Normal is 45–80 psi, under 40 psi is low — how to check. Whole house, or just the one.
