I'd bet that somewhere near you there is a short to ground. I have noticed that there are several pumps being used for irrigation and know from experience that it is not at all uncommon for submersible pumps to have shorts or "leak electricity" into the water. Of course, this is only one of many possiblities. Anyone using electrical appliances, hot tubs,etc. on the water is at risk of having a dangerous problem... every plug, circuit, receptacle, etc. really needs to be properly grounded and GFI's used. Around my property there is a high amount of iron in the earth (my magnet will pick up lots of pebbles), alot of metal boat docks, black plastic floats (high in static electricity) and then there's all the electricity from the dam only 2 miles away....great combination for some concern about electrical shock.
