Maybe it was pushed by social media, but it must have been on something else too as the people I'm hearing it from would only have heard it from mainstream media/word of mouth (fair enough it's a relatively small sample of maybe 50 people). Either way, if it's viewed as a mess then it is a mess, rightly or wrongly.
Though speaking as someone that had 1k litres an hour of mains water swirling round in a pool against the front of their house for the whole of December, I'm quite envious of water infrastructure that was maintained as recently as the 50's (thanks Thames Water)!

@timmah!
Also 'the mess with the water infrastructure' is another thing that has been weaponised hy the right-wing social media. Our water infrastructure is completely fucked, nothing has been maintained since the 50s, and the individual councils have been doing an awful job of it. The plan is essentially to nationalise it, but that would take away a cash cow from local councils and place limits on farmers who have ruined the fresh water environment.
