Got fined for my showerhead being "too powerful"
So yesterday I had this city inspector knock on my door randomly, said they're checking water usage compliance or something. He measured my showerhead flow and apparently it's over the allowed limit - never even knew there was a limit, tbh. Got slapped with a fine, wasn't huge but still annoying. Has anyone else had this happen? Like, how common is it for them to just show up and measure your shower pressure lol...

There isn’t a reliable general rate for surprise visits; it can vary with local rules and how actively a city or water provider enforces them. Without knowing the jurisdiction, it’s hard to say how common this is where you are.
