ufer and bonding wire

[deckscrew]

I'm a contractor in SF Bay area. We're pouring a concrete foundation next week with a UFER ground. To get to the panel the wire passes the water and gas line. Can the bonding wire and UFER be the same wire? I'm asking because it would change where we stub up the wire from the concrete.

Thanks

Yes you can bond the water and gas with the ufer conductor

You aslo need to confirm that the GEC to the CEE is large enough for the required GEC/bonding jumper to the water pipe electrode.

Just make sure that you tap the GEC in way that does not interrupt its irreversible continuity.
