Trump loosens water efficiency rules for showerheads, washers, dryers
The U.S. Department of Energy has finalized two new rules that offer a win to President Trump in his personal crusade to roll back water efficiency standards on appliances like showerheads. Trump frequently has bemoaned what he views as insufficient water pressure with newer appliances. The new rules, announced Tuesday, loosen water regulations on showerheads and for washers and dryers. The Trump administration heralded the standards as a victory for the “quality of life” of Americans.
