The short answer
Housing in Wrightsville runs to a median build year of 1972. 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.

Wrightsville has 2,679 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1972 — 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.Wrightsville sits 2 years older than the PA median of 1974. Of the 303 PA towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 60% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 162nd.
What 1972 tells you about the pipe in Wrightsville
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.
83% of occupied homes in Wrightsville are owner-occupied, 15 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 Wrightsville 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.
