From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power showers could be banned from sale under Government plans to save water.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It comes as ministers want to cut individual demand from 144 litres a day to 122 litres a day by 2038 to protect supplies.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plans include the development of new standards for showers and taps which restrict how much water they can use.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This could mean ending the sale of power showers, which use around 10 to 16 litres of water a minute, meaning a five-minute shower can use 80 litres \u2013 compared to around 20 litres in a typical electric shower.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may also result in restrictions on certain models of toilet, amid concerns over how hundreds of litres a day are lost to leaks, mostly from dual-flush loos.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In its new Plan for Water, the Government confirmed it would “develop minimum product standards for water efficiency including for showers, taps, and toilets”, including mandatory labelling of such products.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But ministers want to go further to tackle water demand. The Telegraph understands one possibility considered by officials is banning \u2018high flow\u2019 bathroom products from sale.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It comes following warnings from The Environment Agency that parts of England could run out of water within 20 years because of the impact of climate change and leaks.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water use could also be included on energy performance certificates, which are required by homeowners and landlords when they sell a property or rent it out.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pathetic use of climate change as an excuse is an outright lie, as England is getting wetter, not drier:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

No, the real objective is control. How dare we want to use water!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile the government also wants to roll out smart water meters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally the second article includes this comment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wettest? Why does the Telegraph not check simple facts before printing rubbish like this? (Needless to say, it was written by the useless Emma Gatten!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
