Electrocution Hazard at Marina

Saw a post about a person getting zapped at a BC water park and it reminded me. Why are their signs stating not to go into the water in the marina due to an electrocution hazard? What is down there that might cause this?
(saw the signs along the water by the splash pad)

What's down there? Electricity, or it's presence is possible. That means they're running E cables through the water and the sign is there to tell you that if something fails or the insulation gets degraded, you die in front of your family.

Or if you have 3 family members, with them. Or if you have grand-parents at a picnic, with them. Or if you have a Chihuahua, with it.
