Although you always want the cold water line BONDED to the grounding

the service entrance.

The purpose of attaching the electrical ground to a water pipe is not to
ground the electrical system, it's to ground the plumbing system.

That's what I said.

I believe he said that for my benefit, not to correct you.

I'll pick up some ground rods and rewire. I've only ever had modems
blow... not power. Still...
