The short answer
The median build year in Bedford is 1980, 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.

Bedford has 20,603 occupied homes across 3 ZIP codes. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1980 — 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 1980 tells you about the pipe in Bedford
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.
52% of occupied homes in Bedford are owner-occupied, 6 points below the TX figure of 57%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.
