"Restoring shower freedom": Trump signs order to undo water policy

Details: Trump's order directs the Energy Department to allow manufacturers to make showerheads with multiple nozzles with combined simultaneous water flow from all onozzles exceeding the 2.5 gallon-per-minute showerhead standard set by Congress in 1992, per Ben Somberg, spokesperson for the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, a non-profit focused on reducing energy waste.

• "The Order frees Americans from excessive regulations that turned a basic household item into a bureaucratic nightmare," per a White House statement. "No longer will showerheads be weak and worthless.
• "By restoring shower freedom, President Trump is following through on his commitment to dismantle unnecessary regulations and put Americans first."

What he's saying: "I like to take a nice shower to take care of my beautiful hair," Trump said as he signed the executive order in the Oval Office.

• "You have to stand under the shower for 15 minutes until it gets wet. It comes out, drip, drip, drip. It's ridiculous."

Editor's note: This article and its headline have corrected to reflect that the issue has to do with the amount of water per showerhead nozzle (not with water pressure) and to clarify the restriction's legislative history.
