Low flush toilets and other water saving gizmos sort of make sense when you’re in the desert. Local governments might need water restrictions.
But most people live in areas that have plenty of water. It’s called rain. The eastern US is getting drenched this week.
Why do people living there have to conserve water when there’s already more than they can possibly use?

I worked for a water department for awhile. They decided to pass out water saving devices,(low flow shower, toilet, and faucet,). When we had our next meeting the finance department was screaming that since water usage was down so we’re revenues. So they jacked up the water usage rates.
Use less water, bill stays the same.
I agree in principle; however, even the Eastern U.S. has had periods of drought. We have a huge lake near us, and the banks of it with protruding tree roots and sunken jetsam were revealed down fifty feet or so during the last one. But to your point, that was maybe 20 years ago—not worth mandating permanent inefficiency in appliances. Consumers waste more having to do things over to get them done right.
