Bonding jumper across meter

[Another C10]

How to inspect his family today call me I needed to bond across this meter well give me what is removing the meter will not affect the bonding path am I wrong here?

This is a pretty strange picture, maybe I just don't get it being that I'm from California, anyway .. this image doesn't show me the B.A.G. Bond, it looks like its behind the meter? thing, Anyways how does that meter work .. lets say the utility water line is the pipe from below then the pipe above goes to the house ... how does this meter effectively measure water flow. Maybe that fitting has a divider wall in there somewhere. Another image showing the bond would be nice.

Respectfully, Mark

Yeah, it's a NYC thing. Makes no sense but it makes people fork over money.

Picture 2 90s welded together the water does go through the meter

I see it now, It was difficult to see in the image .. one 90 is behind the other, it looked like a 4 opening T. Typically the inspectors out here want a bond within 10ft of were the water enters the building or I just put it on the load side of the meter were it goes into the dwelling. Its just to protect the water system from an electrical surge coming from the utility or to protect the water system at the closest point before entering the home or business. The only place we need to put a bond jumper is at the water heater from hot to cold.

it is one piece that from outside looks like a 4 way tee. there is a wall inside that effectively creates two 90 degree elbows out of it.

NEC says you must bond within 5 feet of entry to the building - if the underground piping qualifies as a grounding electrode. We must also bond around insulating sections or sections that may have somewhat routine removal for maintenance - which is why it is pretty common to bond around meters. This case the type of fitting used already maintains continuity when the meter is removed making the jumper unnecessary.

We bond the interior piping so both it and the electrical grounding system remain the same potential. We bond to the underground piping if it is metallic because it typically is a pretty good grounding electrode.
