The idea is that you don't run the water continuously while shaving

Yep, I know this.
Personally, I think everyone should required to stop shaving as well.
That would save an enormous amount of money.

Most people I know brush while in peak traffic (Grin!)

This article from the Diamond Valley Leader Newspaper
A woman was fined last week for brushing her teeth - while driving a
car. The Patterson Lakes woman, 23 was spotted brushing her teeth in
peak hour traffic while driving north along Greensborough Highway about
9.10 am on Thursday October 5. She was seen be Banyule Police who issued
a $145 fine for failing to have rpoepr control of a vehicle.
Now I ask you, was she or wasnt she trying to do the right thing?

The amount of water saved by domestic users is a piddle in the pond
compared to commercial users.. Its commercial users that are the
problem. Also if the Government was really serious about saving water
they would make toilets etc comply by having dual flush compulsory, as
well as water tanks....
