The short answer
Hanson has a median build year of 1975 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.
Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates, table B25035.
Hanson has 3,967 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1975 — 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.Hanson sits 9 years newer than the MA median of 1966. Of the 176 MA towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 29% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 130th.
What 1975 tells you about the pipe in Hanson
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.
90% of occupied homes in Hanson are owner-occupied, 30 points above the MA figure of 60%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.
Median household income across Hanson ZIP codes is $112,457, 12% below the MA median of $127,270.

Before calling anyone in Hanson, 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.
