If my boyfriend thought he was going to dictate how long my showers are, he wouldn't be my boyfriend.
Wastefulness is unattractive, regardless of the circumstances. If the gf is selfish in this way, she is probably selfish in other ways too.
I'd say the relationship is doomed.

My showers are usually 20 minutes, but that's the bare minimum. Someone else said 10 minutes. No way I can shower in 10 minutes. I shave my legs and underarms and wash my hair in the shower. My hair is thick and it takes some time to get it all wet and then after shampooing it takes some time to get all the shampoo out. I don't use conditioner, but if I did that would take even more time.
Come on! Girls should EASILY be able to shower and shave in 10 minutes or less. Guys should be able to get it done in 5 minutes or less. Really, all you need (if you're not shaving is about 3 minutes).

She said "I'll shower as long as I want." And then something to the effect of "you didn't have to move in if you don't like it."

Meanwhile I pay 70% of the rent, since I earn much more than her. I was really put off by her comment. I don't like to find arguments but I'm really turned off by her selfishness in this regard. It makes me wonder if she even knows how bad a drought we have? Not that her actions alone are using up all our water, but it's still not right in my opinion.

By the way, we're both in out 40s.
Thoughts?
It all boils down to what you rather have on your hands. 1) an irritable, frustrated chick who took a 10 to 15 minute shower before bed, or, 2) a happy relaxed chick who took a 30 minutes shower before bed? Personally I get better results with a happy relaxed chick.
