Water itself doesn’t conduct electricity particularly well, it’s the chemicals dissolved in it that are the source of the trouble.
For example, the salt content
of seawater makes it a million times better at conducting electricity than ultra-pure water.
Evenso, even a trace of water can prove fatal with high voltages. People have been killed thinking they can move live cables using a freshly-broken tree branch.
