I'm not sure where to start looking for a clogged pipe. Would i start
from the street and follow to the bibb? If it is a clogged pipe, how do
i clean it out? Seems like some extensive digging might need to to be
done to find the problem. The odd thing is it happened suddenly. It
wasn't a gradual decrease in pressure.All valves are on.

This morning i turned on the hose and the water came out at its regular

other bibbs on that side and the water barely came out. The rest of the
house is not affected by the low pressure. Any ideas why the pressure
is low on only one side of the house?

Random ideas:

Interior cutoff valve you forgot to turn back on fully after winter?

Someone flushing a toilet at the moment you tested the first bib,
continuing through test of other bibs on that side of the house, but
the toilet was filled by the time you got to testing other faucets?

Opening the valve for the first time of the season dislodged some crap
that ended up blocking the supply line to those bibs somehow?

Wild guesses of course. SEems like a weird one!

Those would all be nice zero cost solutions, but I'd put my
money on Al's theory--a clogged pipe. What the poster needs
to do is take inventory. Go to every water pipe termination
and run the water. Map out which ones run normal, and which
ones are degraded. That might suggest a common pipe somewhere
and at least limit down where the problem might be.
