The short answer
The median build year in Piedmont is 1989, 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.

Piedmont has 11,630 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1989 — 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 this site is

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.Piedmont sits 2 years older than the SC median of 1991. Of the 77 SC towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 61% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 19th.
What 1989 tells you about the pipe in Piedmont
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.
74% of occupied homes in Piedmont are owner-occupied, which is about the SC figure of 73% 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.
Median household income across Piedmont ZIP codes is $69,630, 6% above the SC median of $65,603.
