The short answer
Housing in Largo runs to a median build year of 1978. Pipe of that era fails in more than one way, so the useful first step is counting weak taps: every tap points at the supply, one tap points at that fixture.

Largo has 46,333 occupied homes across 6 ZIP codes. 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.

Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands.

Of the 143 FL towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 83% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 25th.
What 1978 tells you about the pipe in Largo
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.
70% of occupied homes in Largo are owner-occupied, 4 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.
Median household income across Largo ZIP codes is $63,633, 15% below the FL median of $74,712.

Before calling anyone in Largo, check whether every tap is weak or just one. 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.
