There is nothing is the code that would prevent that. (assuming that the water pipe does not infringe on the work or equipment spaces required in 110.26)
I disagree, I think 110.34(F) prohibits it.

This is for protection inside of a building. The trans formers are exsposed to rain,sleat and probably snow on a regular basis.
(F) Protection of Service Equipment, Metal-Enclosed Power Switchgear, and Industrial Control Assemblies. Pipes or ducts foreign to the electrical installation and requiring periodic maintenance or whose malfunction would endanger the operation of the electrical system shall not be located in the vicinity of the service equipment, metal-enclosed power switchgear, or industrial control assemblies. Protection shall be provided where necessary to avoid damage from condensation leaks and breaks in such foreign systems. Piping and other facilities shall not be considered foreign if provided for fire protection of the electrical installation.

OP never mentioned switchboards, panelboards, or other equipment that may be subjected to 110.34(F).
OP simply asked if electrical raceway could be supported by same supporting member as a water pipe.
I say yes.

Are you asking why a water pipe is running inside a transformer yard? It does seem a little odd to have a water pipe in such a location in the first place.
