If you don't replace the timing belt at the same time you risk it breaking later on especially if the timing belt hasn't been replaced recently (Toyota calls for replacing the timing belt every 90,000 miles as normal maintenance) , if it does break it will make the valves hit the pistons at which point the engine is toast and will need to be replaced, much cheaper and good insurance to just go ahead and replace the timing belt when doing the water pump.
