The short answer
Housing in East Weymouth has a median build year of 1958. On stock that old a house-wide pressure drop is the expected finding rather than a surprising one, because galvanized steel narrows from the inside. The figure dates the housing, not the pipe in any particular house.

East Weymouth has 6,529 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1958 — 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.

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.East Weymouth sits 8 years older than the MA median of 1966. Of the 176 MA towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 68% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 89th.
What 1958 tells you about the pipe in East Weymouth
Housing of this vintage generally means galvanized steel still the norm, with copper appearing towards the end of the decade. A house from these years may have had part of its supply replaced and part left alone, which is why pressure can be fine in one bathroom and poor in another. More on 1950s supply pipe.
64% of occupied homes in East Weymouth are owner-occupied, which is about the MA figure of 60% once the survey’s margin of error is allowed for. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.

In a town of this vintage the first question in East Weymouth is still how many taps are weak, and the answer usually comes back "all of them" — which points at the supply rather than at any fixture. Normal is 45–80 psi, under 40 psi is low, and a gauge settles it in a minute. Whole house is worth a call; one tap is usually yours to fix.
