The short answer
The median build year in Dayton is 1998, recent enough that the pipe itself is rarely the cause. On housing this age a house-wide drop more often turns out to be the pressure-reducing valve, and a single weak tap is usually the aerator on that fixture.

Dayton has 2,166 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1998 — the most useful single fact for working out why the water pressure is weak, because it predicts what the supply pipe is made of.

Before calling anyone in Dayton, check whether every tap is weak or just one. On housing this recent a house-wide drop more often turns out to be the pressure-reducing valve or the meter than the pipe itself. 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.
