July 16 (UPI) -- In the latest salvo in the "showerhead war," the Biden administration Friday said it will take steps to reinstate an Obama-era definition that restricts the flow of the device, something that former President Donald Trump loosened last year.
Trump's rule sought to bypass a 2013 requirement that allowed no more than 2.5 gallons of water to flow through a showerhead per minute to save water and energy. Trump's Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette said dropping the requirement removed unneeded regulation and allowed the public to pick showerheads that best suited them.
