The short answer
Mound has a median build year of 1973 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.
Mound has 6,207 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1973 — 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.Mound sits 16 years older than the MN median of 1989. Of the 59 MN towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 90% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 30th.
What 1973 tells you about the pipe in Mound
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.
81% of occupied homes in Mound are owner-occupied, 12 points above the MN figure of 69%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.
Median household income across Mound ZIP codes is $111,083.

The first thing to establish in Mound is whether the problem is the house or one fixture, and it takes two minutes of walking around. Housing of this era can be copper throughout or copper with polybutylene in part, and the two fail differently enough that the pattern matters. Normal is 45–80 psi, under 40 psi is low — test it. Whole house is a call; one tap usually is not.
