I disagree with Doug on this point. If the connection to the water pipe
was code compliant when installed - connection used to be allowed other
than within 5 ft - the installation is OK now unless modifications are
made that trigger new construction requirements.

IMO local inspection authority is likely to regard the installation of a
second grounding electrode as a mod that will trigger new construction
requirements -- but the OP should check with local inspection authority.
