The IRS is a piker compared to this lawless, fascist agency.

Hotels consume a significant amount of water in the U.S. and around the world

Probably more in the US than in Europe, judging from the last crowded tube ride I took.

Eventually the EPA wants to be able to charge every person per liter of water they use.

Is there any evidence that hotel guests use more water in the shower when in the hotel as opposed to at home, where they’d also be taking showers?

Makes me want to rent a room and leave the shower on all day!

LOL! When we used to travel a little more, anytime I saw one of those conservation placards about reusing the towels by hanging them or if you wanted fresh towels, leave them on the floor or in the tub, we’d always toss them in the tub. Just trying to do our part in keeping the planet warm to sustain life.

I had that fleeting thought myself.

Imagine if hotel staff members....got wind of this issue and had the same response

the EPA...should be the first agency to bite the dust under a new administration.

they have nothing to DO with “protecting” the “environment”

Showers, BBQs, lawnmowers, then what?

You breathe too much. We have to modify that behavior.

I was thinking they might also begin regulating the use of the crapper than I figured not going to happen as that would be gender discrimination.

“Most hotels do not monitor individual guest water usage and as a result, millions of gallons of potable water are wasted every year by hotel guests.”
HTH do they know that? The conclusion has been determined before any investigation has begun. Feckin' commies.
And I guaran-damn-tee, the follow up investigation will be in YOUR bathroom.

As a kid, I learned about the water cycle in school. Last I checked water isnt really consumed, just used and sent on its way.

I could see why hotels would like to know, so they could give surcharges to people really going over a reasonable amount. Especially in draught areas. But the EPA?? Sheesh.

Flush the EPA.

Flush twice.

Plunge if necessary.
