Unscrew the PEX pipe at the base of the faucet and stick it into a bucket. Turn city water on and see if the water comes out of the PEX okay. If not, it's definitely the faucet.
Same can be done at the hot water heater but you'll need to go to a hardware store and pick up a couple of fittings to be able to adapt the 1/2" pipe thread on the heater to a length of hose or PEX. If the water doesn't flow out of the heater properly, but okay into the heater, it's the heater.
Bleach won't clear a line. That's not normally the problem, even in a house (on a well) where it's usually either sediment or mineral deposit (usually calcium). Sediment can plug up the valve in a faucet while calcium usually builds up on the outside of an aerator. CLR works great for calcium. If sediment, depends on if the valve has a cartridge or a washer. If cartridge, you may need to replace it.
There is always a chance of a pinched line. We had one on our current TT and came from the factory that way and got fixed under warranty.
