So, 1000 gallons costs about $9, and a gallon costs like 1c, so 15-min shower would cost about 40c + the water heating cost.

Yea, water is expencive. With those prices, just to take shower for 5 people 3 times a week, 4 weeks would cost $24 alone, but if you cut the shower to 10 min, it will be about $16. Plus, of cource, there is lawn and toilet, laundry, and water to wash hands, dishes, and other things. I might end up paying more than I am paying now. Now I pay $54 for every 2 months.
