Can wiring and plumbing be located in the same chase?
No most certainly not, firstly, if laying copper water pipes and then you lay wiring next to it, it doesnt matter how much of insulation there is it will cause electrolosis. And weaken the pipe causing it to burst therefore affecting the electrical wiring and water and electricity do not go well together. Secondly chasing galvanised pipe into a wall is definitely not recommended because when the galvanised pipe "sweats" it will start to rust as the moisture just sits in the wall also causing the pipe to burst and affecting the electrical wiring. There must be a minimum 200mm between the chasing for electrical wiring and plumbing pipes.

What would cause the hot water to be rusty and brown just in one bathtub?
Don't know that but do know this. Connect a water hose to your water heater drain valve tomorrow and water your grass or garden for 10 gallons worth. My guess is that the pipes to this tub are black iron and are rusty on the inside. If this is not happening in any other part of your house then these pipes will need replacing. Good answer. Draining the water heater also helps it last longer. Or, it can be also 45 year old galvanised pipes feeding the tub like are in my house. My plumbing pipes are rusting internally. That one tub may not be used very often but it's supply line is rusting inside.
