The short answer
Housing in Country Club Hills runs to a median build year of 1976. 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.

Country Club Hills has 5,418 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1976 — 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 1976 tells you about the pipe in Country Club Hills
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.
77% of occupied homes in Country Club Hills are owner-occupied, 13 points above the IL figure of 64%. 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 Country Club Hills 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.
