    The regulation 7.2 addresses 'Swimming pools, paddling pools, ornamental pools, spas and fountains'

    The purpose of those regs is to provide extra protection for people within these zones.

    7.2.1.1 The particular requirements of this subclause apply to the basins
    of swimming pools, paddling pools, ornamental pools, outdoor spas and
    fountains. The requirements also apply to the surrounding zones of all
    these basins. In these areas, in normal use, the effect of electric shock is
    increased by a reduction in body resistance and contact of the body with
    earth potential.
    A borehole wouldn't be classed as a special zone and as I understand it a borehole wouldn't carry the extra risk attached as outlined in bold above.
