You have made this assertion before and I have pointed out before that,
in any jurisdiction that has adopted the US National Electric Code,
using an underground metal water pipe that is ten or more feet long as a
grounding electrode is required. Not connecting the grounded buss bar
in the service equipment to that water pipe is a violation of the law
that adopts the US NEC by reference.
