I can't believe people are actually against adding water capacity when we have been in extreme droughts much of the last five years. One argument against it is that we should focus on conservation instead of capacity. There is absolutely no logical reason why we can't and shouldn't do both.
Stopping construction will only create major problems several years down the road when another 500,000 people live here.

While it sounds like the building may have been premature in that we wont need another treatment plant for 15+ years, we have already set sail. Modify the existing plant to do standard water treatment + reclaiming grey water that way both sides are happy. Throwing away the 100+ million we have spent especially when construction is cheap is a bad idea.
