Justin I have asked about a pump and the town would be open to that. I just don't want to put anymore money into this until I know what the problem is.
please help me understand this, why would you ask the town about installing a booster pump? Its your house you can do as you please

regardless of what water main you are tapped into you will still need the pump

You should stop thinking about the gpm, gpm is going to be restricted by pipe sizes, faucets and many other things
bottom line is that if you have 40 psi from your 3/4" main a pump is needed

I understand you want to spend as little as possible which is why the pump makes most sense
