A quick side note on this thread:  most electrical codes require any outlet
near (within 1 meter = 39") water or outdoors to have a  GFCI for safety.
Granted in this case the pipes are plastic, so no direct metallic connection
to ground, but water does conduct at a level.   A worst case analogy would
be a FD back in university days where in the middle of the night one of the
guys decided to go outside the operating tent to improve the ground
conductivity of our ground stake and . got quite a surprise.  Of course that
water had somewhat better conductivity.
