The mission of MAC Facilities is to give members a clubhouse, amenities and equipment that are safe, comfortable, sustainable, attractive, and world-class.

The Members who have signed this petition feel the replacement of shower heads, while fulfilling the mission of sustainability, have compromised the comfort and usability of showers to the extent they have become insufficient in providing the service they are supposed to deliver. The Portland Water Bureau states the flow of shower heads should be limited to 2.5 gallons per minute. The old shower heads flowed at 2.0 gallons per minute. The new shower heads flow at 1.5 gallons per minute. We feel the 2.0 gallons per minute shower heads delivered an effective balance between sustainability, regulation, and member experience.

The Members request the facilities committee and board restore the shower heads to their previous flow rates.
