This is a church camp. Communal water to everyone at the church camp. Gets drained every fall.. There always seems to be sediment every year when I turn on the water to my cottage in May.
Delta kitchen faucet - low flow issue

I think I need to replace the two o-rings the seal the spout. But not sure what o-rings I need. It's probably a 25 or 30 year old single handle faucet that looks like a Delta.
You're going in deep with sleeves rolled up that's an old faucet. Go to depot, lowes or walmart and pick up a new faucet its a summer cottage don't have to go wild if the supply valves are 3/8 compression most new faucets come with pre-attached water lines and you're done. I would just check your valves I did a faucet for my father his valves were 1/2" NPT had to get adapters to adapt to 3/8 compression.

I believe you are looking for these o-rings to seal the pivoting spout on a classic Delta single handle kitchen faucet.
DELTA RP-25
They should be available at Home Depot or Lowes, either as a Delta brand or a Danco aftermarket part.
Nothing at the summer cottage comes apart easily. The shutoff valves are one normal quarter turn ball valve sweated into 1/2" copper and an old fashioned globe valve sweated into 1/2" copper.
Given that I have the faucet apart and now just a matter of cleaning or replacing the diverter and replacing o-rings that would seem to be the easiest path forward.
So I have yet to find a parts list diagram. I think there are two o-rings to seal the spout? Two cup washers (on top of springs) under the ball and a rubber piece and nylon piece on top the ball. And thats it as far as seals/gaskets go.
Here is the parts list for the "Classic" Delta single handle kitchen faucet w/sprayer that has been around for ~50 years:
