Electricity at home from water at overhead tank

It's just a thought, but can be converted to a useful product.
I think a small amount of electricity can be generated from the water at overhead tank, using turbine.
Attach a small turbine in the pipe going from tank to house, such that whenever someone opens any tap in the house, the water will go thru the turbine and will rotate it, that rotation will generate some electricity which can be used to charge a battery, which can later be used at need. I think this product can be very useful in villages where elex comes and goes frequently.
The questions here are:
* how much electricity will this small turbine generate?
* will this slow down the force of water in the tap? If yes, will that be a problem?
