What 2002 tells you about the pipe in Marydel
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.
93% of occupied homes in Marydel are owner-occupied, 10 points above the DE figure of 83%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.
