Toilet Repair in Morrisville, PA
The housing in Morrisville is mostly old — 75% of it predates 1990 — and tenure is genuinely mixed at 80% owner-occupied.
Short version
In Morrisville the split runs 80% owner-occupied against 20% rented. That makes responsibility a matter of your own address rather than the town's pattern, and it is worth settling before anybody is called out to the property. With 75% of the housing built before 1990, a fixture predating the 1.6 gallon standard may still be in place; the figure describes the building rather than the bathroom.

What the age of Morrisville’s housing suggests
Morrisville is old housing by this measure — 75% of its 21,792 housing units predate 1990, and 10% were built before 1940. Anything installed new in those homes was a pre-standard fixture at 3.5 gallons or more, against 1.6 today.
Plenty of them have been changed since, and this data cannot tell you whether yours has. It tells you what the odds are for the street rather than the room.

What is actually wrong with it
Which of these is it? Running continuously, not flushing at all, flushing weakly, leaking at the floor, or moving when you sit on it. Each has a different cause and only one of them is urgent.
On an older fixture that is being lifted anyway, ask what the difference is between putting this one back and setting a new one down. Frequently the work is the same and only the part differs, which is the one moment when replacement is worth thinking about.

Ask the contractor which municipality licenses them and confirm it with that office before work begins.
