Did the city check the water pressure when you were using water inside to see what the pressure was or did they check it when nothing was being used, there is a big difference. A half inch pipe should be able to keep up with more than just one fixture at one time, if there is a restriction in the supply from the city the only way to find out is to check the water pressure at the same time a faucet is being used and see what the pressure drops to. In 30 years of plumbing I have only installed one booster pump and that was because a new water tank was installed and it was 10 feet shorter then the old one. And if a booster pump is installed there are certain codes that need to be followed to keep from pulling a vacum on the city main
