Errrrrr:-?Because once he put in the ground rods he was no longer using the coldwater as a ground and was simply bonding it, and you can bond it anywhere in the system as long as it's accessible.
Errrrrr:-?
I don't think that's quite right
We are required to use all available grounding electrodes to form a GEC system, "If available" See 250.50
If not available, then we must install one or more of the electrodes specified in 250.52(A)(4) through (A)(7)
To add to this if a water pipe is available to be used as an electrode, it must also be supplemented by an additional electrode of a type listed in 250.52(A)(2) through (A)(7)
Installing other GEC's does not release the requirement of connecting to the water pipe within the 5' of entrance to the building

That's exactly how I see it.
