Copper wire, for example, works fine under water and has done so for nearly a century. That's what formed the basis of the first submarine comminication cables across the Atlantic and Pacific.

Yep,
but when the connection to your house
is a cheap crimp in a pit in the roadside,
( vs a fully insulated, hi tech underwater proof jobby )
and rain fills the pit,
the line becomes decidedly iffy, and sometimes, stops
