The short answer
Housing in Central Square runs to a median build year of 1982. 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.

Of the 364 NY towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 8% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 176th.
What 1982 tells you about the pipe in Central Square
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.
