Yeah the actual EO talks about flow rate, which is ironic because using higher flow fixtures decreases the output pressure. Who's doing the real war on water pressure ahaha

I also can't see toilet companies being eager to jump on retooling to make more wasteful toilets since they've already invested in making ones that work just fine with less water. The safe business bet is assuming efficiency will be back in demand at some point in the future, either because of the next president or because of water shortages.
