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.
