Just a thought.....is this place rural?
It is classed as rural yes. Not exactly out in the country so to speak.

No volts at the drain outside I believe? Gotta be an IR fault in the house somewhere. Been happening for long or just started ?

What voltage do you get from a live in the house to the flowing water?
Thinking a voltage coming in from a neibour's fault (different phase).
Therefor if you have 240v available do you get more than that testing to the water?

Have you had a chance to take readings, under the same conditions with water flowing, of the following set of three voltages:
a) External test spike to MET
b) External test spike to energised water stream
c) MET to energised water stream
If the conditions are identical and the spike outside the resistance area of the fault, then it should prove conclusively which point is being elevated above true earth.
The above checks have been carried out and as you say they are all the same.
Wish I was local I would give a hand for free as I love faults.
I've not got time to read the whole thread, but this raises an interesting question...
Bonding of incoming gas and water pipes is one of the first things we look for, so why not bonding of waste pipes? I know most are plastic these days, but not all...
