In a building with a non metallic water service and nonmetallic interior water piping, is there any advantage in bonding the short copper service line as it leaves the ground and enters the building? Total length of copper is about 4'. 2' in the ground and 2'out. Other isolated copper lines stub out of the walls at fixture locations, but no continuous metallic system.

NEC only requires bonding a metallic water piping system, which yours is not. The purpose of bonding is to clear a fault. What would energize your metal portion?
