The short answer
With a median build year of 1998, Ingalls is newer housing, and newer housing moves the likely cause away from the pipe. A pressure-reducing valve explains a whole-house drop more often than the supply does at that age.

Ingalls has 738 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1998 — 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.Ingalls sits 30 years newer than the IN median of 1968. Of the 154 IN towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 3% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 109th.
What 1998 tells you about the pipe in Ingalls
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.
78% of occupied homes in Ingalls are owner-occupied, which is about the IN figure of 73% once the survey’s margin of error is allowed for. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.

In Ingalls the first check is how many taps are affected, and on housing of this age a single weak one is the common case — an aerator or a supply stop, not the system. Normal supply is 45–80 psi; under 40 psi is low, and a gauge tells you in a minute. Whole house is a call; one tap is not.
