grounding

[Dan Ardelean]

I have a few houses coming up that are on a well system. Typically i would ground to the nearest cold water pipe. Is there another acceptable way to ground this system if the cold water pipe is in pvc instead of copper.

250.52 gives several options for grounding electrodes. Your best bet is probably to pound in a pair of ground rods.

"coming up" ? as in not built yet ?
Then concrete encased electrode in the footer.
most jurisdictions by the time you look at building & electric codes it's a "must" anyway.
