Free to homeowners in Caldwell — the contractor pays us for the introduction, you never do.
The short answer
The median build year in Caldwell is 1995, recent enough that the pipe itself is rarely the cause. On housing this age a house-wide drop more often turns out to be the pressure-reducing valve, and a single weak tap is usually the aerator on that fixture.

Caldwell has 25,083 occupied homes across 3 ZIP codes. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1995 — 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 1995 tells you about the pipe in Caldwell
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.
74% of occupied homes in Caldwell are owner-occupied, 2 points above the ID figure of 72%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.

Housing this new in Caldwell 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.
