The short answer
Cookstown has a median build year of 1982 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.

Cookstown has 344 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1982 — 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.Cookstown sits 16 years newer than the NJ median of 1966.

What 1982 tells you about the pipe in Cookstown
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.
