Over the last couple of months I have noticed a serious decrease in water pressure. For example, 2 water using things cant go at the same time. Could this be the pump? How do I determine the cause? Is this a managable project. Who would I call for assistance? I need help.

Sounds like a pressure reducing valve has gone bed, this is found infront of or near the meter.
What happens when it goes bad is, you have good pressure at one faucet but if two are running at the same time this causes the presuure to drop off extreamly. if this is the case suspect the pressure reducing valve, replacing it is your best bet.
Call a plumber if you need assistance in determing if in fact it is the pressure reducing valve.
