What 1973 tells you about the pipe in McConnellsburg
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.
71% of occupied homes in McConnellsburg 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.
