The short answer
Gordonville has a median build year of 1969 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.

Gordonville has 1,423 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1969 — 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 303 PA towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 67% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 223rd.
What 1969 tells you about the pipe in Gordonville
Housing of this vintage generally means the changeover years. Copper is common by now but galvanized is still in the ground and in the walls, so what matters is not the build year but which sections were ever replaced. A pressure test at the outside tap tells you more than the age does. More on 1960s supply pipe.
61% of occupied homes in Gordonville are owner-occupied, which is about the PA figure of 67% once the survey’s margin of error is allowed for. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.

In Gordonville, count the weak taps before you do anything else. Every one of them points at the supply; a single one points at that fixture, and the difference decides whether this costs you five minutes or a contractor. Normal supply is 45–80 psi and under 40 psi is low (here is the test). Then: whole house or one tap.
