Wall St. Journal:  “Water Shortages Spur Restrictions and Low-Flow Designs, but Some People Aren’t Willing to Sacrifice, and Skirt the Rules.   One way to ruin someone’s day is to mess with a good morning shower.  That was the hard-learned lesson of past campaigns to conserve water — and a mistake that could be easy to repeat. . . . Americans use the shower much more than the tub. And of all the water wasters in the house, the shower is among the hardest to tame, because people go to extraordinary lengths to protect it.  One way to minimize water use is to change people’s behavior, often by the force of regulation. Some big cities are considering banning particularly profligate showers, and several cities are moving to mandate more-efficient shower heads.”
