Question:
Re: CQD answer published Friday, December 21, 2018 -water pipe connection
The question inferred water lines were part of the grounding electrode system. If so should the connection be not more than 5-feet from the point of entrance to the building rather than the nearest water line? .per 250.68(C)(1).

A
Answer:
Hey ESPS thanks for your follow up question. Yes, we somewhat skipped over that in the answer but you have a good point. The connection to the metal water pipe must be within the first 5 feet of where it enters the building as stated in 250.68(C)(1), unless the exception applies.
