The short answer
With a median build year of 1939 or earlier, Ridgeville sits in the era when supply pipe was commonly galvanized steel. That matters because steel loses bore everywhere at once, so a whole-house symptom is ordinary there and a single weak tap is the odd one.

In a town of this vintage the first question in Ridgeville is still how many taps are weak, and the answer usually comes back "all of them" — which points at the supply rather than at any fixture.
