Housing of this vintage generally means copper as standard and the last of the polybutylene, which stopped being installed in 1995. Pressure complaints in houses this age are more often about the pressure-reducing valve drifting out of adjustment than about the pipe. More on 1990s supply pipe.
88% of occupied homes in Alpine are owner-occupied, 9 points above the UT figure of 79%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.

Before calling anyone in Alpine, 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.
