    Hot water cartridges/stems must be clogged. You will need to shut water supply to bathrooms or even to the house, remove cartridges/stems, pulse the water (rag over the valve) and then re-install the cartridges/stems.

    Worst case, you may need to replace the stems.

    Let me know what you think here...
