The short answer
Boca Raton has a median build year of 1983 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.

What 1983 tells you about the pipe in Boca Raton
Housing of this vintage generally means copper throughout in most cases, with polybutylene fitted in some homes built from the late seventies onward. Polybutylene was discontinued in the mid-nineties and is worth identifying, because its failures are sudden rather than gradual. More on 1980s supply pipe.
72% of occupied homes in Boca Raton are owner-occupied, 6 points above the FL figure of 66%. 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 Boca Raton 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.
