That is why I would like to see the cold water pipe bonded only after the water main (the water mains usually have a dielectic installed), and a Ufer ground being the grounding electrode in all new dwelling units. Then we could eliminate ground rods, which I think are mostly a waste of effort and money. I have measured many ground rod connections and the value is much higher than 25 ohms. And the neighbors problems stay the neighbors problem.
What do you think?
