My 1950s era house had a 100amp panel, with a grounding wire that ran to
my well and was clamped to the well casing. I hired a licensed
electrician to upgrade to 200amp panel. He also installed 2-3 ground
rods outside the house and connected from the new panel to them, AS WELL
AS running from the panel via a heavy wire (looks like #6 aluminum
strand) clamped to the copper water pipe downstream of my pressure
tank. Notice... he didn't connect to the well casing, but to the piping
on the "house" side of the pressure tank, and the pressure tank is
separated from the well casing by my pump and black rubber hose (i.e. no
electrical continuity). And he left the original ground wire as-is on
the well casing.

What did he doe with the opposite end of the original wire attached
to the well casing?

Never noticed all this until recently.
Is this correct?
Shouldn't there be a jumper cable to connect across the black rubber
hose (from the copper pipes to the well casing?)

Just curious
Experienced advice appreciated.
Thanks
Theodore.
