Just to add a bit of trivia to this discussion, concrete increases substantially in conductivity in the presence of ionizing radiation (x-rays, gamma rays). This is well known and documented in the nuclear hardening community. This is an indication of an inherent population of free charge carriers in concrete (be they water-based, or other).
Hmm ... So, not only will we have to keep the garden hose away from that 200 kW power supply, but it may also need a warning label: "FOR USE ONLY IN NUCLEAR-FREE ZONES."
