I have a copper water line system in this Bldg. I just upgrade to a 200 amp. Three phase system.
We can not tell or find where it enters the Bldg.The Electrical inspector wants it bonded for safety
reason in case it gets hoted up. Since it is not going to be either the primary or secondary grounding Electrode
I asked if I could Ground it in the Main lug distribution panel on the inside. He said no it had to go all the way
outside to the main service disconnect neutral/ground Bar.
The job is complete but I just wanted to get your ideas on if you think where I needed to take it.
I did take to the outside to keep from fussing about it.
My thoughts where since I was just bonding it for safety reasons the main lug distr. panel inside
would be just as good.
Here is a sketch of the layout
Thanks
