If they're going to monitor my showers, at least send a hot blonde to do the monitoring. :tongue: :naughty:

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.

It's got to be a Frenchman who wrote the proposal, right?  A Frenchman or . . . there's a whole bunch of the world that could fall under that . . .

Eventually, the EPA will get around to limiting how much hot water is available at any one time.  They'll probably start forcing water heater manufacturers to limit tanks sizes and do away with tankless water heater systems.

Cold fingers, well, I'd say it's time to throw it away.

How are you supposed to shampoo your hair if you have to wear a tinfoil hat even in the shower?
