I recently heard a talk on increasing your home's energy/etc.
efficiency; I don't recall whether the speaker was from the state or
city office responsible for such things.  Anyway, he said he doesn't
recommend using low-flow showerheads because:

a) the hard water in this area tends to clog them easily
b) the low flow encourages people to either turn the volume up more or
take longer showers

So, installing a low-flow showerhead may actually increase your water
use.
