The short answer
Housing in Plymouth Meeting runs to a median build year of 1965. Pipe of that era fails in more than one way, so the useful first step is counting weak taps: every tap points at the supply, one tap points at that fixture.

What 1965 tells you about the pipe in Plymouth Meeting
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.
77% of occupied homes in Plymouth Meeting are owner-occupied, 9 points above 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.

The first thing to establish in Plymouth Meeting is whether the problem is the house or one fixture, and it takes two minutes of walking around. Housing of this era can be copper throughout or copper with polybutylene in part, and the two fail differently enough that the pattern matters. Normal is 45–80 psi, under 40 psi is low — test it. Whole house is a call; one tap usually is not.
