Fact check: viral claim about water supply is misleading
A widely shared post distorts official figures
A viral social-media post claiming a sharp collapse in urban water supply is misleading, a review of official records shows.
The figures cited in the post refer to a single month and ignore seasonal variation documented across the full reporting period.
Officials confirmed the underlying data, but said the post's framing created a false impression of a sudden crisis.
Verdict: Misleading — the claim relies on selective figures.
