I am a home inspector and one of my friends posted this photo on a home inspector board.

hope the link works.
If not, this is a photo of an amp meter (that encompasses the cold water pipe) showing a reading of 9.33
This is not a test that most home inspectors do so we don't know if this is a typical condition or not. Some guys claim some amps in the pipe is "normal" and some say there should be no amps at all.
The issue of "black copper" pipes were brought up. Some of us Home Inspectors think the black pipe means there is voltage running through the pipe causing the pipe to turn black.
I knew I could get the right answer here. Any thoughts?
