An experienced electrician told me there is a right and wrong way to run the AWG 6 ground wire around a water meter. He said the wire from the main service panel must be clamped to the consumer side of the meter first, then jump the water meter and be clamped to the side from which the pipe enters the house. He also said the section of ground wire which jumps the water meter must be bare copper. It this information accurate? The residence involved in our conversation is in a town that doesn't require 2 ground rods.
