The short answer
Housing in Greensburg runs to a median build year of 1975. Pipe of that era fails in more than one way, so the useful first step is counting weak taps: every tap points at the supply, one tap points at that fixture.

What 1975 tells you about the pipe in Greensburg
Housing of this vintage generally means copper as the usual supply material, so corrosion narrowing the pipe is far less likely. In houses of this era a whole-house pressure drop points at the pressure-reducing valve, the main shut-off, or the supply side of the meter rather than at the pipe itself. More on 1970s supply pipe.
74% of occupied homes in Greensburg are owner-occupied, 8 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.

In Greensburg, 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.
