The short answer
Housing in Chapel Hill has a median build year of 1998. Where the stock is that new, weak pressure is more often a valve or a fixture than a corroded supply line, and both can be checked before anything is assumed.

What this site is
PressureTrace is a referral service, not a plumbing contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands. Every state page sets out who licenses plumbers there and where to check, so you can confirm before work begins. 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.Chapel Hill sits 7 years newer than the TN median of 1991. Of the 110 TN towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 25% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 48th.
What 1998 tells you about the pipe in Chapel Hill
Housing of this vintage generally means copper as standard and the last of the polybutylene, which stopped being installed in 1995. Pressure complaints in houses this age are more often about the pressure-reducing valve drifting out of adjustment than about the pipe. More on 1990s supply pipe.
84% of occupied homes in Chapel Hill are owner-occupied, 21 points above the TN figure of 63%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.

In Chapel Hill 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.
