I have a roomate who is in the shower for a half an hour, sometimes more. We split the water bill which is why I'm curious

+ The military allows you 4 min. to save on water aboard ships. Seeing as I am ashore and retired I now take 5 or 6 min.

10 minutes.
You might want to find out what the roomate is doing in there, and I'm not talking about, ahem, with his/her self or partner.
I had a roomate with a lot of very curly hair and she would spend almost 45 minutes in teh shower because she deep conditioned and it took that long to rinse it out.
You might want to ask your roomate to shower after you at least, to save on the heated water.

Average is 7 to 12 minutes, 1/2 hour is just wasteful.

"Most Americans shower everyday, for 10 minutes or less, and spend 35
minutes of time in the bathroom, on average. These are some of the
not-so-surprising findings on people's ablutions derived from the 1999
Bathroom Habits Survey, American Standards poll of more than 800 U.S.

shower. But there are differences: men shower to get clean in just 3-5 minutes;
women take 5-7 minutes."

I'd expect your average to be about 15 min. Me, I usualy do about that, sometimes ten. My husband...we're talking forty minutes, sometimes worse. I've been able to watch an hour long TV episode by the time he finishes. (Fortunately he pays the water bill.)
