Water moving through household pipes would generate a tiny amount of energy.
The large pipe in the OP would supply water to a lot more than the 150 homes it can generate electrical power for. It's not a 1:1 thing.

No. If you add more and more of these pressure robbing devices, the water utility will need to compensate to maintain sufficient pressure.....usually by using electric pumps. That's a very inefficient and convoluted way for them to 'send' you electricity.
