The short answer
Casar has a median build year of 1980 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.

Casar has 808 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1980 — 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 1980 tells you about the pipe in Casar
Housing of this vintage generally means copper throughout in most cases, with polybutylene fitted in some homes built from the late seventies onward. Polybutylene was discontinued in the mid-nineties and is worth identifying, because its failures are sudden rather than gradual. More on 1980s supply pipe.

The first thing to establish in Casar 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.
