The short answer
Parrott has a median build year of 1975 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.

Parrott has 215 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1975 — 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 1975 tells you about the pipe in Parrott
Housing of this vintage generally means copper as the usual supply material, so corrosion narrowing the pipe is far less likely. In houses of this era a whole-house pressure drop points at the pressure-reducing valve, the main shut-off, or the supply side of the meter rather than at the pipe itself. More on 1970s supply pipe.

Before calling anyone in Parrott, check whether every tap is weak or just one. 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.
