The government took a step to rectify one of President Donald Trump's pet peeves just days before he leaves office by finalizing a showerhead rule after the president complained about water merely 'dripping out.
The U.S. Energy Department on Tuesday finalized two rules easing energy standards on consumer fixtures and appliances – about a year after the president went on an extended rant about plumbing fixtures during a public event at the White House.
The rule rolled back a regulation dating to the Bush administration to allow showerheads with multiple showerhead fixtures to provide more robust water-flow. But the regulation – to take effect just five days before inauguration – will do nothing to meet Trump's complaints about sinks where 'you don't get any water' and toilets that people are flushing 'ten times, fifteen times' due to environmental regulations.
