The short answer
Housing in Sherrill has a median build year of 1951. On stock that old a house-wide pressure drop is the expected finding rather than a surprising one, because galvanized steel narrows from the inside. The figure dates the housing, not the pipe in any particular house.

Sherrill has 1,378 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1951 — 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 87% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 257th.
What 1951 tells you about the pipe in Sherrill
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.
72% of occupied homes in Sherrill are owner-occupied, 26 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.

Start in Sherrill by running the taps one at a time. Where the housing is this old, a single weak fixture is the more interesting finding, because it means the rest of the system is still delivering and something local is not. Normal supply is 45–80 psi; under 40 psi is low. Test it, then decide: whole house is a call, one tap is five minutes.
