Both exist here. The close-set older housing is generally on public water, and the further out an address sits the more likely a well and pressure tank are involved. Where there is a well, the tank and the pressure switch become part of any pressure complaint rather than anything on the street side.

Follow the cold supply from each tank back toward the meters, and match it to the meter registered to your address rather than trusting any tag on the tank. Confirming the meter before a valve is touched avoids leaving the other household without hot water.

Galvanized steel is dull gray, magnetic and threaded at the fittings, where copper is reddish brown and soldered, and the usual complaint is pressure that has fallen away slowly over years as the interior scales up. Mixed galvanized and copper in one house is normal here and tells you the work was done in stages rather than all at once.

That valve sits at the boundary and is the authority's to work, not the householder's, even though it serves your house. It normally needs a long key to reach, and turning it without the authority's involvement can damage a valve nobody wants to be replacing in winter.
