> There's even federally mandated shower flow rate (2.5 GPM max). Just leave this shit up to the states.

from your link, some states can set lower.

| To conserve resources and save money, some state and local governments mandate even lower GPM flow rates than the federal regulation.

| Examples of national and local regulations include:

| * New York City and the state of Colorado require a maximum of 2.0 GPM

| * California, Washington, and Hawaii require a maximum of 1.8 GPM

would you have states set a min flow rate?

Why should it be illegal to use a 3.5 GPM shower in a water rich state? That is the standard people prefer with no regulations.

I would rather have it set at town building code level.
