The short answer
Housing in Chappaqua runs to a median build year of 1965. 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.

Chappaqua has 4,076 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 Chappaqua
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.
88% of occupied homes in Chappaqua are owner-occupied, 42 points above the NY figure of 46%. 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 Chappaqua 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.
