The short answer
The median build year in Belton is 1981, which is copper territory and sometimes copper with polybutylene in part of the run. Normal supply is 45 to 80 psi and under 40 psi is low, so a gauge on an outside tap settles whether this is a supply problem at all.

Belton has 6,488 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1981 — the most useful single fact for working out why the water pressure is weak, because it predicts what the supply pipe is made of.

What 1981 tells you about the pipe in Belton
Housing of this vintage generally means copper throughout in most cases, with polybutylene fitted in some homes built from the late seventies onward. Polybutylene was discontinued in the mid-nineties and is worth identifying, because its failures are sudden rather than gradual. More on 1980s supply pipe.
80% of occupied homes in Belton are owner-occupied, 8 points above the SC figure of 73%. 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 Belton 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.
