I am too lazy to read this, it might answer your question.

Osha's only requirement for eyewash stations is for employees using corrosive chemicals. That's it. No corrosive, no eyewash or shower.

We have a very similar set up at my plant. We dont have eyewashes or showers.

Personally, I think running water lines into an electrical equipment room is a bad idea. If they decide it is required, I would push for a portable "eyewash" solution.
