What 1979 tells you about the pipe in Walpole
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.
82% of occupied homes in Walpole are owner-occupied, 5 points above the MA figure of 77%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.
Median household income across Walpole ZIP codes is $150,233, 18% above the MA median of $127,270.
Before calling anyone in Walpole, 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.
