The short answer
Housing in West Warwick runs to a median build year of 1967. 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.

West Warwick has 14,350 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1967 — 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.West Warwick sits 4 years older than the RI median of 1971. Of the 41 RI towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 73% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 6th.
What 1967 tells you about the pipe in West Warwick
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.
55% of occupied homes in West Warwick are owner-occupied, 8 points below the RI figure of 62%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.
