I think I know the answer, but I want to be sure.
I keep running across water softener instals that the installer has replumbed with PVC eliminating the water pipe service ground from the service panel.
These water pipe grounds are no longer necessary since the neutral is grounded at the meter?
Is this correct? Or does the service panel still need a seperate ground conductor to the ground rod.
Also, have you guys seen this and would you add one for safety sake?
