Actually, pure water does NOT conduct electricity. It will somewhat conduct if there are impurities in the water. I doubt that an adult would be electrocuted in that situation. Maybe a child could (?) die. I was a former electronics tech so I must have touched live 120 volts a hundred times. If my hands were sweaty then the shock was a LITTLE stronger. But, any adult can survive 120 volts. Logically, that is why it is standard in homes.
.......Now 220 volts is an entirely different animal, it can easily kill an adult, so be VERY AFRAID of 220 volts!!!!!!
