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.

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.

I would not ground to the well casing to avoid possible electrolysis damage.
