The short answer
Horsham has a median build year of 1979 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.

Horsham has 6,855 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1979 — the most useful single fact for working out why the water pressure is weak, because it predicts what the supply pipe is made of.

We do not perform plumbing work, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call.Horsham sits 5 years newer than the PA median of 1974. Of the 303 PA towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 37% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 82nd.
What 1979 tells you about the pipe in Horsham
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.
60% of occupied homes in Horsham are owner-occupied, 8 points below the PA figure of 67%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.

Before calling anyone in Horsham, check whether every tap is weak or just one. Normal supply is 45–80 psi and under 40 psi is low — how to test it in a minute. Whole house is a supply problem worth a call; one tap is usually a five-minute job you can do yourself.
