The short answer
Schiller Park has a median build year of 1963 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.

Schiller Park has 4,240 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1963 — the most useful single fact for working out why the water pressure is weak, because it predicts what the supply pipe is made of.

We do not perform plumbing work, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call.Schiller Park sits 11 years older than the IL median of 1974. Of the 226 IL towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 75% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 148th.
What 1963 tells you about the pipe in Schiller Park
Housing of this vintage generally means the changeover years. Copper is common by now but galvanized is still in the ground and in the walls, so what matters is not the build year but which sections were ever replaced. A pressure test at the outside tap tells you more than the age does. More on 1960s supply pipe.
