if you like your showerhead you can keep your showerhead
Oh my goodness! A freakin’ study? Really? They’re called flow meters for cryin’ out loud and they already have electronic models which can send the data to a computer. Many towns now use them so they can read water meters without having to send someone out to do it. They’re also used in the aquarium industry.
Cameras in every bathroom?
Long showers + hotel room = an extramarital affair in many cases. No telling where and how THAT data might come in handy someday.
Many years ago I took the family to camp at Lake Isabella in California, there was a water shortage/drought at that time, if you wanted to take a shower you had to feed the meter coins. If you wanted a hot shower you had to feed it even more, such a totally different experience from when I was a child camping with my parents. So put coin fed meters in place, hey they could do it for beds, buffet lines, the perfect new revenue source for liberals!
They’ll just put 5 minute timers on them and charge how many times it’s used.

Big Brother is in the hotels.....how long before they put speakers/listening devices in our homes to monitor what we say when ‘no one is listening’?
“Hotels consume a significant amount of water in the U.S. and around the world,”
So if people weren’t in hotels they wouldn’t be taking the same amount of showers for the same amount of time? Which one of Obama’s buddies will be getting the grant money?
liberals: “get government out of my bedroom and into my bathroom!”
And, by the way, this seems like a brainless and punititive way to solve the usage problem. If you really wanted to save water, as opposed to just making people miserable, get rid of the tub spout and just have a showerhead that can be used to fill the tub. In many, if not most tub/shower combinations, much of the water flows uselessly out of the tub spout and is wasted.
This study/grant has creepy pervert written all over it.
Here’s what I’d do: at checkout time, id take the bags to the car, go to the dash and settle the bill - in cas - and then call my wife, still in the room, tell her to turn on the shower and meet me at the car.
Another fiasco brought to you by communists, Marxists and socialists.
The only reason there is a water shortage, it that they want to protect some kind of endangered smelt.
The smelt need to be captured, battered, fried and served with a nice tartar or cocktail sauce.
The EPA will grant the $15,000 for any college to study anything.
Next up will be timing how long a fart makes sounds.
We need to take care of the environment. But please bear in mind that the fact that the EPA even exists is traceable back to the ill-conceived 17th Amendment imo, state lawmakers foolishly giving up their voices in Congress by ratifying that amendment.
As mentioned in related threads, the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate intrastate environmental issues.
And even if the states had delegated such powers to Congress, the Constitution prohibits Congress from delegating federal legislative powers to non-elected bureaucrats like those running the EPA. So corrupt Congress is wrongly delegating powers that it doesn’t have in the first place.
Getting back to the 17th Amendment, the problem with 17A is this. Voters go home and watch football after electing their favorite federal senators, oblivious to the idea the that their corrupt senators are working in cahoots to with the corrupt House to establish unconstitutional nanny agencies like the EPA.
The 17th Amendment needs to disappear.
Note, there must be an interlock that prevents the water from starting if the camera is inoperative.
