The short answer
The median build year in Lake Hiawatha is 1965, 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.
Sources: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates, table B25035; normal and low ranges as published by Grundfos in its homeowner guide to low water pressure.
Lake Hiawatha has 4,352 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1965 — 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 1965 tells you about the pipe in Lake Hiawatha
Housing of this vintage generally means the changeover years. Copper is common by now but galvanized is still in the ground and in the walls, so what matters is not the build year but which sections were ever replaced. A pressure test at the outside tap tells you more than the age does. More on 1960s supply pipe.
61% of occupied homes in Lake Hiawatha are owner-occupied, which is about the NJ figure of 63% once the survey’s margin of error is allowed for. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.
