[TowerTalk] Water Pipe Ground

[K8RI on TowerTalk]

Here it's required that you have an adequate ground at the entrance (wet 
soil and it's still two ground rods) and all other metal, including gas and 
water lines be grounded to those. In the case of our water lines the only 
metal is the meter and valve at the meter.  Every thing else is plastic both 
sides of the meter.
