The short answer
Housing in Mooresboro runs to a median build year of 1982. Pipe of that era fails in more than one way, so the useful first step is counting weak taps: every tap points at the supply, one tap points at that fixture.

Of the 190 NC towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 72% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 114th.
What 1982 tells you about the pipe in Mooresboro
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.
73% of occupied homes in Mooresboro are owner-occupied, 9 points above the NC figure of 64%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.
