The short answer
With a median build year of 1939 or earlier, Christiansburg sits in the era when supply pipe was commonly galvanized steel. That matters because steel loses bore everywhere at once, so a whole-house symptom is ordinary there and a single weak tap is the odd one.

What a pre-1940 build tells you about the pipe in Christiansburg
Housing of this vintage generally means galvanized steel supply pipe throughout, most of it decades past the point where the zinc lining has gone and rust has begun closing the bore from the inside. In houses this old the pressure loss is usually gradual rather than sudden, and it affects the whole house rather than one tap. More on pre-1940 supply pipe.

Start in Christiansburg 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.
