The short answer
The median build year in Litchfield is 1986, which is copper territory and sometimes copper with polybutylene in part of the run. Normal supply is 45 to 80 psi and under 40 psi is low, so a gauge on an outside tap settles whether this is a supply problem at all.

Litchfield has 3,015 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1986 — 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 1986 tells you about the pipe in Litchfield
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.
84% of occupied homes in Litchfield are owner-occupied, 12 points above the NH figure of 72%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.
