On Monday, Denver Water published their “Splashstreet Boys — I water that way,” parody of the Backstreet Boys song, “I Want It That Way” in an attempt to provide entertaining guidance to residents on how and when to water their lawns to avoid wasting the precious commodity.
While the video production has received a mix of positive and negative reviews, it has mostly garnered negative feedback from users who are not very happy with it — several of whom see it as a waste of taxpayer dollars.
“Get back to work,” one user quipped on X, formerly Twitter.
“What a waste of our Money,” another wrote.
Someone else griped that even if Denver residents do cut back on their water usage, the city will eventually hike rates for not using enough water.
Another X user suggested that the video serves as a vivid illustration of the concept that “taxation is theft.”
The video features a choreographed dance sequence, the same white outfits dawned by the Backstreet Boys in their music video released 25 years ago in 1999, and a running toilet.
