The short answer
Brooks has a median build year of 1986 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.

Brooks has 918 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1986 — 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 1986 tells you about the pipe in Brooks
Housing of this vintage generally means copper throughout in most cases, with polybutylene fitted in some homes built from the late seventies onward. Polybutylene was discontinued in the mid-nineties and is worth identifying, because its failures are sudden rather than gradual. More on 1980s supply pipe.

In Brooks, count the weak taps before you do anything else. Every one of them points at the supply; a single one points at that fixture, and the difference decides whether this costs you five minutes or a contractor. Normal supply is 45–80 psi and under 40 psi is low (here is the test). Then: whole house or one tap.
