[TowerTalk] copper pipe for ground

[Red]

Lightning may have been incidental to the pinhole leaks.  The water in 
some communities slowly corrodes copper pipes and causes pinhole leaks.  
I believe it is a result of acidic water, but I don't remember for sure 
what compound or ion in the water attacks the copper.
