The short answer
Housing in Lake Hopatcong runs to a median build year of 1966. Pipe of that era fails in more than one way, so the useful first step is counting weak taps: every tap points at the supply, one tap points at that fixture.

What 1966 tells you about the pipe in Lake Hopatcong
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.
94% of occupied homes in Lake Hopatcong are owner-occupied, 31 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.
