The short answer
With a median build year of 2000, La Vergne 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 2000 tells you about the pipe in La Vergne
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.
70% of occupied homes in La Vergne are owner-occupied, 7 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 La Vergne 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.
