The short answer
The median build year in Weedsport is 1975, which is copper territory and sometimes copper with polybutylene in part of the run. Normal supply is 45 to 80 psi and under 40 psi is low, so a gauge on an outside tap settles whether this is a supply problem at all.

What 1975 tells you about the pipe in Weedsport
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.
81% of occupied homes in Weedsport are owner-occupied, 35 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.
