Re: [TCML] Grounding Coil to Water Pipe




Not all water meters are buried. Mine and most in my area are in the basement. The water meter has to be bypassed with a wire of the same gauge as the service ground wire. The plumbing is also connected to the ground rod. I have two 8 foot ground rods 8 feet apart, connections have to be brazed if they are buried  (local requirement I think). My plumbing is all copper including the line in from the street.

Water meters are buried.
Water meters already have to deal with 60 Hz ground currents, when a 
distribution power line falls on the ground.
