The short answer
Ulysses has a median build year of 1987 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.

Ulysses has 236 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.

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.Ulysses sits 2 years newer than the KY median of 1985.

What 1987 tells you about the pipe in Ulysses
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.
