The short answer
The median home in Oneida dates from 1950, which puts galvanized steel supply pipe in the frame: it loses bore from the inside and loses it everywhere at once. Weak pressure at every tap points at the supply, while one weak tap usually points at that fixture.

Oneida has 5,573 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1950 — the most useful single fact for working out why the water pressure is weak, because it predicts what the supply pipe is made of.

Of the 364 NY towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 89% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 128th.
What 1950 tells you about the pipe in Oneida
Housing of this vintage generally means galvanized steel still the norm, with copper appearing towards the end of the decade. A house from these years may have had part of its supply replaced and part left alone, which is why pressure can be fine in one bathroom and poor in another. More on 1950s supply pipe.
68% of occupied homes in Oneida are owner-occupied, 22 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.
Median household income across Oneida ZIP codes is $63,732, 41% below the NY median of $107,386.

In a town of this vintage the first question in Oneida is still how many taps are weak, and the answer usually comes back "all of them" — which points at the supply rather than at any fixture. Normal is 45–80 psi, under 40 psi is low, and a gauge settles it in a minute. Whole house is worth a call; one tap is usually yours to fix.
