According to Bloomberg News, US President Trump said on the 6th that he has ordered the Environmental Protection Agency to review the water-saving standards of bathroom equipment. According to the current water flow regulations, "People use the toilet at home instead of flushing once, but 10 times, 15 times. Times. " "You can't wash your hands at all," Trump said at the White House SME roundtable. "There is so little water flowing out of the faucet. As a result, you have to keep the faucet on, spend more time washing your hands and use the same amount of water. Trump said that reviewing water saving standards is "common sense" because flushing the toilet many times will use more water. Trump has relaxed many regulations since he took office, especially the environmental protection regulations implemented or proposed by the Obama administration. Critics say Trump has weakened regulations to combat climate change, conserve resources, and promote clean air and water. These regulations include a 20% reduction in water from tank-type toilets compared to 1992 regulations; a 32% reduction in water in bathroom faucets. Although Trump claims that he ordered the EPA to review water-saving regulations, according to a bill passed by Congress in 2018, the EPA was required to review the WaterSense program to review all regulations implemented before 2012. This means that the Trump administration was forced to review regulations for water tank toilets, bathroom faucets, shower heads, flush urinals and watering equipment. However, the Environmental Protection Agency also said that the water-saving standards of the "Water Awareness Plan" have indeed achieved the purpose of saving water, especially the bathroom water, which accounts for more than half of the indoor water. Each household saves $ 380 (about NT $ 11,560) per year in water bills and saves more than 17 gallons of water per day. Trump said he is considering implementing different water standards in different states with rainfall. But water managers in 40 of the 50 U.S. states say they expect water shortages in parts of their state over the next decade. Trump also previously complained about the Obama administration ’s light-saving bulb regulations, saying that they “make me (skin) look orange” and are several times more expensive than traditional light bulbs. Trump administration has announced that it will relax electricity-saving bulb regulations
