how to get around low-flow shower head laws.

[–] LouNeko@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sorry, what does that mean? I don't speak Californian.

they put a plastic or metal doohickey where the shower head connects to the pipe to limit water flow.

Just remove the extra washer piece from the shower head

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I used to take 30 minute showers, then I removed the extra washer in the shower head and can take a 10 minute shower.

to save water for everyone, avoid baths and take showers.

I'll shower instead, but fuck anyone that wants me to save water for them

I'm a lot more worried about agriculture and golf course water usage (and runoff) than I am the shower gallons.

My comment was intended as a joke that is relevant to the image posted.

Would you like to spread other true but unrelated propaganda, like meat farms or other agricultural efforts taking up water?

I'm not an elephant though.

Why wouldn't they simply tax water use at progressive rates? If you use a lot of water, you have to pay a lot of money (ideally, towards water processing services).

Doing low-flow laws makes for easy loophole setups like this, not to mention simply buying a device in/from another state. I doubt their cops are kicking down doors for Suspicion of High-Flow Toilet.

They do have different rates depending on usage, at least here in Jersey, but those rates are basically 0-3000 gallons, 3000-10000, and 10000 and beyond, for example. So what I'm saying is they're very high and basically only distinguish between residential, commercial, and agricultural. Although I shouldn't say agricultural, because they often need to get special permits and pay different rates altogether.

[–] HCSOThrowaway@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Apparently they need a better rate structure if they're having to use low-flow laws as a crutch.
