What you are seeing is pure stupidity. If the person overseeing the work had either education or experience this would never had happened. The plumbing and pump was ungrounded. There is no reason for this except someones stupidity. The only thing that had to be done to prevent this from happening would be to attach a wire to the plumbing and to the ground leg of the circuit or make sure the ground wire is connected up at the pump. That way the plumbing could never have any voltage on it. When the pump shorted out it would have tripped its breaker or blown a fuse.

Who ever the overseer was on these projects should be hung and have their stupidity taken out of the gene pool.
