I think the biggest costs of sewage treatment is removing solids and hazardous contaminants. Diluting wastewater with moderate volumes of potable water may not mean much to the whole-cycle.

It's not nearly as bad as watering a lawn, where water goes out clean and comes back as contaminated runoff that has to be captured and treated or dumped.
