What 1978 tells you about the pipe in Meredith
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.
77% of occupied homes in Meredith are owner-occupied, 10 points below the NH figure of 87%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.
Median household income across Meredith ZIP codes is $69,808, 32% below the NH median of $102,662.
Before calling anyone in Meredith, 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.
