The short answer
The median build year in Saint John is 2000, 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.

Saint John has 6,565 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 2000 — 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 2000 tells you about the pipe in Saint John
Housing of this vintage generally means copper and the first widespread PEX. Neither corrodes closed, so a genuine whole-house pressure drop in a house of this age is almost always a valve, the meter, or the supply into the property — not the plumbing inside it. More on 2000s supply pipe.
98% of occupied homes in Saint John are owner-occupied, 25 points above the IN figure of 73%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.
Median household income across Saint John ZIP codes is $123,203, 77% above the IN median of $69,679.

In Saint John 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.
