EPA OUT OF CONTROL: First they control the toilet, now the shower?
So in my home, since we live on a lake, the long axis of our house parallels the shore. This has forces the effluent exit from the house to be at one end of the house some, 66 feet from one of the bathrooms, and then the line to the septic tank runs another 59 feet. So we have a LONG WAY TO GO.
The EPA created by congress to have the ability to give itself more and more power by arrogating ON ITS OWN, more and more regulation first mandated the exciting ‘low flow toilet’. With 125 feet to the septic tank via 1.6 gallons, GUESS WHAT HAPPENS?
Minimum 2 flushes. Did we save any of that well water from 180 feet down, which then goes back into the soil lakeside after the leeching field processes, and makes it’s way back to to the well?
The federal govt does not have the ABILITY to make good decisions for individuals.
Does not have the ABILITY
So now …
EPA Wants to Monitor How Long Hotel Guests Spend in the Shower
$15,000 grant creating device to “modify” guests behavior
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) wants hotels to monitor how much time its guests spend in the shower.
The agency is spending $15,000 to create a wireless system that will track how much water a hotel guest uses to get them to “modify their behavior.”
“Hotels consume a significant amount of water in the U.S. and around the world,” an EPA grant to the University of Tulsa reads. “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.”
“The proposed work aims to develop a novel low cost wireless device for monitoring water use from hotel guest room showers,” it said. “This device will be designed to fit most new and existing hotel shower fixtures and will wirelessly transmit hotel guest water usage data to a central hotel accounting system.”
The funding is going toward creating a prototype and market analysis for the device. The goal of the project is to change the behavior of Americans when they stay at hotels.
All for $350 per night!
How long until the monitoring devices become valve controls which closes the hot water and ‘changes your showering behavior’,
‘for the public good’, of course.
