The short answer
The median build year in Canada is 1987, which is copper territory and sometimes copper with polybutylene in part of the run. Normal supply is 45 to 80 psi and under 40 psi is low, so a gauge on an outside tap settles whether this is a supply problem at all.

Canada has 380 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1987 — 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 this site is

Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands. Every state page sets out who licenses plumbers there and where to check, so you can confirm before work begins. 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.Canada sits 2 years newer than the KY median of 1985. Of the 297 KY towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 40% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 209th.
What 1987 tells you about the pipe in Canada
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.
77% of occupied homes in Canada are owner-occupied, 10 points above the KY figure of 67%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.
Median household income across Canada ZIP codes is $36,333, 29% below the KY median of $51,490.

Before calling anyone in Canada, check whether every tap is weak or just one. Normal supply is 45–80 psi and under 40 psi is low — how to test it in a minute. Whole house is a supply problem worth a call; one tap is usually a five-minute job you can do yourself.
