Clearly too much time spent in science class.
There isn’t much you can say about this other than many people have way too low threshold for conspiracies and the paranormal.

This is actually one of the most commonly searched items on this blog. If you came here for an explanation rather than a snarky comment here it is.
There is nothing strange in the water, it is just a normal rainbow, like any other rainbow that occurs after some rain. Small drops of water act as a prisim and split the sunlight into the rainbow of colors. Wikipedia has more details on how this works.
You can do this yourself on a sunny day. Spray water up into the air in the same direction as your shadow. The finer the spray the better. This works best early or later in the day when the sun is near the horizon. You need to be between the sun and the water that is why you should spray the water in the direction of your shadow it is opposite to the sun.
I have no idea why the woman in the video has not seen this before. Maybe she just never noticed, maybe she moved and is now looking a different direction. Maybe she got a new sprinkler that creates a finer mist.
When I was growing up we often created rainbows with the water hose. It was fun for a few seconds. I grew up on a farm and the water came from the well. There was nothing in the water other than the occasional dead mouse who was unfortunate enough to crawl in and fall into the water. Yum!
