The short answer
Englewood Cliffs has a median build year of 1970 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.

Englewood Cliffs has 1,930 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1970 — the most useful single fact for working out why the water pressure is weak, because it predicts what the supply pipe is made of.

Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands.

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.Englewood Cliffs sits 4 years newer than the NJ median of 1966. Of the 449 NJ towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 41% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 352nd.
What 1970 tells you about the pipe in Englewood Cliffs
Housing of this vintage generally means copper as the usual supply material, so corrosion narrowing the pipe is far less likely. In houses of this era a whole-house pressure drop points at the pressure-reducing valve, the main shut-off, or the supply side of the meter rather than at the pipe itself. More on 1970s supply pipe.
84% of occupied homes in Englewood Cliffs are owner-occupied, 21 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.

The first thing to establish in Englewood Cliffs 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.
