Sorry its 1:1 with NaOH, but 1:10 to neutralize HCL in water which gives you what a ph of 7? But thats a typo that i will correct.

If NaOH completely disassociates in water then it would never make it out of the plant, which is my point. You have the disinfection stage, then filtration, sedimentation and settling, a chemical coagulation and further settling, aeration, etc etc.

Thats all before it joins the rest of the city water and pumped into a tower, before returning down to city pipes then to your house. It would come in contact with millions of gallons of water and loads of heavy metals along the way from zinc coated steel pipes and lead.

I have a little bit of a chemistry background and worked a water treatment plat for few years in my youth so no need for the condescending tone.

To me this seemed more like an attack on the plant itself then an attempt to poison the water supply. It probably made one hell of a show at the plant when they introduced all that NaOH to water.
