The short answer
Lowville has a median build year of 1971 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.

Lowville has 3,624 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1971 — 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 1971 tells you about the pipe in Lowville
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.
75% of occupied homes in Lowville are owner-occupied, 28 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.

Before calling anyone in Lowville, check whether every tap is weak or just one. Normal supply is 45–80 psi and under 40 psi is low — how to test it in a minute. Whole house is a supply problem worth a call; one tap is usually a five-minute job you can do yourself.
