The short answer
Housing in Closter has a median build year of 1957. On stock that old a house-wide pressure drop is the expected finding rather than a surprising one, because galvanized steel narrows from the inside. The figure dates the housing, not the pipe in any particular house.

Closter has 2,632 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1957 — 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 this site is
PressureTrace is a referral service, not a plumbing contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands. Every state page sets out who licenses plumbers there and where to check, so you can confirm before work begins. 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.Closter sits 9 years older than the NJ median of 1966. Of the 449 NJ towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 81% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 306th.
What 1957 tells you about the pipe in Closter
Housing of this vintage generally means galvanized steel still the norm, with copper appearing towards the end of the decade. A house from these years may have had part of its supply replaced and part left alone, which is why pressure can be fine in one bathroom and poor in another. More on 1950s supply pipe.
82% of occupied homes in Closter are owner-occupied, 19 points above the NJ figure of 63%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.

Start in Closter by running the taps one at a time. Where the housing is this old, a single weak fixture is the more interesting finding, because it means the rest of the system is still delivering and something local is not. Normal supply is 45–80 psi; under 40 psi is low. Test it, then decide: whole house is a call, one tap is five minutes.
