farm!  We used to have have two houses on different electric feeds that had common galvanized pipe plumbing.  This was very problematical with respect to the use of cold water pipes as electrical grounds.

I had an unusual situation of voltage between water coming out of the faucets, and ground.

Turns out the electrical grounds/neutrals were bad (since installation in 1979), and the return paths for two 120V 100A feeds was up the water in a PVC pipe back into the well.
