Pure water is an insulator.
Only impure water, ie. water that contains ions, will conduct electricity, as to why H2O does not break into the H ions and OH ions and then conduct electricity, to be honest, I don't yet know. But I suspect that the electrons flowing through are not vibrating at the correct frequency to excite the electrons that hold the two ions together to break apart.
