The short answer
With a median build year of 2002, Simpsonville is newer housing, and newer housing moves the likely cause away from the pipe. A pressure-reducing valve explains a whole-house drop more often than the supply does at that age.

What 2002 tells you about the pipe in Simpsonville
Housing of this vintage generally means copper and the first widespread PEX. Neither corrodes closed, so a genuine whole-house pressure drop in a house of this age is almost always a valve, the meter, or the supply into the property — not the plumbing inside it. More on 2000s supply pipe.
82% of occupied homes in Simpsonville are owner-occupied, 10 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.

In Simpsonville the first check is how many taps are affected, and on housing of this age a single weak one is the common case — an aerator or a supply stop, not the system. Normal supply is 45–80 psi; under 40 psi is low, and a gauge tells you in a minute. Whole house is a call; one tap is not.
