The short answer
Salisbury has a median build year of 1981 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.

Salisbury has 570 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1981 — 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.Salisbury sits 2 years newer than the NH median of 1979. Of the 127 NH towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 48% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 110th.
What 1981 tells you about the pipe in Salisbury
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.
94% of occupied homes in Salisbury are owner-occupied, 22 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.
Median household income across Salisbury ZIP codes is $105,000.

The first thing to establish in Salisbury 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.
