Thats like a job I did I a county I dont usually work in , I change out a damaged meter base . Every other county around here requires the service to have to ground rods if you repair an existing service . The ahj came early and did not have the rods in yet but they were laying on the ground , I told him I had everything but the ground rods finished . He said you dont need that , I see it allready has a ground rod , I said thats a 3/4 in pipe and the house has plastic water lines . He said well its worked all these years hasnt it :roll:
You have to wonder what he did before he was an inspector. Maybe lead paint taste tester.
