Free to homeowners in Wylie — the contractor pays us for the introduction, you never do.
The short answer
With a median build year of 2006, Wylie 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.

Wylie has 20,876 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 2006 — 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 2006 tells you about the pipe in Wylie
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.
79% of occupied homes in Wylie are owner-occupied, 21 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.
Median household income across Wylie ZIP codes is $115,587, 23% above the TX median of $93,661.

In Wylie 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.
