What 2012 tells you about the pipe in Fulton
Housing of this vintage generally means PEX or copper, new enough that the pipe itself is rarely the cause. Where pressure is poor from the day someone moves in, the usual answer is a pressure-reducing valve set low at handover, and it is an adjustment rather than a repair. More on 2010s supply pipe.
96% of occupied homes in Fulton are owner-occupied, 12 points above the MD figure of 84%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.
Before calling anyone in Fulton, 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.
