On a new 200amp service, Does the grounding electrode conductor have to be unspliced from the panel to the ground rod and to the water pipe within 5' of the water entrance to the house? Every section I read says it only needs to be unspliced to the most convieniant electrode, then bonding jumpers to all of the other electrodes. If the water line is 100' away, can't I just go to the driven ground rod 1st and then add another clamp to the water line? Everyone in my office says this has to be continous through all electrodes with no splices except for welding or irreversible clamps. Thanks Everyone!!
