Feasible. Gutters are easier, and you'd want to filter it through one of these first for drinking:

No filter required for shower.

It's just a little bird shit, right? ;)

You could get away with a more basic setup that would just allow particulates to settle, shower with the upper portion, and use a backwash valve to clean the bottom out. Fuck, you could shower then filter the dirty shower water and drink that. But hey, I live on "coulds."

I live in a major capital city. Be fucked if I'm going to drink anything that falls out of the sky, unfiltered and unboiled.

That's one step away from a Fresh Air tax.
