The short answer
Magna has a median build year of 1981 across its housing. That is late enough for copper and early enough for polybutylene in places, which is why the pattern of the symptom is worth establishing before anybody is called out.

Of the 48 UT towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 92% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 27th.
What 1981 tells you about the pipe in Magna
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.
