A rough calculation says my irrigation system consumes 9gals/min.
50 mins/day * 3 days/wk * 4wks/month * 9gals/min = 5,400 gals/month
Your 5,000 gals is pretty darn close to that.
We use about 1,000 gals/month of potable water for two of us.
A controller with wifi that can use local weather stations to disable watering when rain is forecast will help you to save some water/money.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
