The short answer
Housing in Hernando has a median build year of 1999. Where the stock is that new, weak pressure is more often a valve or a fixture than a corroded supply line, and both can be checked before anything is assumed.

What 1999 tells you about the pipe in Hernando
Housing of this vintage generally means copper as standard and the last of the polybutylene, which stopped being installed in 1995. Pressure complaints in houses this age are more often about the pressure-reducing valve drifting out of adjustment than about the pipe. More on 1990s supply pipe.
88% of occupied homes in Hernando are owner-occupied, 19 points above the MS figure of 69%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.

Housing this new in Hernando rarely has a materials problem, so the useful first step is the same one but the likely answer is different: count the weak taps, and if it is all of them look at the valve rather than the plumbing. Normal is 45–80 psi, under 40 psi is low — how to check. Whole house, or just the one.
