The short answer
With a median build year of 2014, Melissa 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 2014 tells you about the pipe in Melissa
Housing of this vintage generally means PEX or copper, new enough that the pipe itself is rarely the cause. Where pressure is poor from the day someone moves in, the usual answer is a pressure-reducing valve set low at handover, and it is an adjustment rather than a repair. More on 2010s supply pipe.
88% of occupied homes in Melissa are owner-occupied, 31 points above 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.

Before calling anyone in Melissa, check whether every tap is weak or just one. On housing this recent a house-wide drop more often turns out to be the pressure-reducing valve or the meter than the pipe itself. Normal supply is 45–80 psi and under 40 psi is low — how to test it in a minute. Whole house is a supply problem worth a call; one tap is usually a five-minute job you can do yourself.
