Think we all know that water conducts electricity, that's why we have take extra precautions in special locations. However, my understanding of BS7671, is that we are bonding incoming metal pipes, to prevent them introducing potential. I'm not a scientist, but if in the next edtion of BS 7671, they tell me to bond a plastic water pipe, because the water inside can introduce a potential, then I will.
You should google the subject, here is one such piece of research; http://www.plasticpipesgroup.com/media/1036/earthbonding.pdf
