Does anyone have details about the Galvanic Interaction between Aluminum and carbon fiber in a wet environment?

Today the US FAA identified a problem on Boeing 787 planes related to corrosion on the plumbing used in the Lavatories.

It specifically mentioned in was caused by Galvanic interaction in a wet environment between Aluminum and carbon fibers.

I was surprised that such an interaction would happen between these two materials.
