And in the unusual posting department........

Can anyone offer any guidance on who may have jurisdiction over electrical
equipment installed / used in a sewer?

It appears that the OSHA position is that OSHA would have jurisdiction over
a manhole-accessed sewer, but not over a pipeline as the pipeline is not a
'workplace' potentially visited by humans.  A person will not fit in a pipe,
therefore it is not a 'workplace'.  This seems to me to be a somewhat
shortsighted approach, although it may be such due to the limitations of the
OSHA legislation.
