The water company has threatened legal action to stop the "irresponsible" stunt which comes during a prolonged drought in southern England.
Last year McGowan left a tap running in a south London gallery, but bowed to pressure to turn it off after a month.
That stunt used 800,000 litres of water, and angered many Thames Water customers and gallery visitors - some of whom turned off the tap themselves.
This time he intends to keep the taps running at secret London addresses, sending an estimated 100 million litres down the drain.
