jes the areas that I have heard about not allowing the water pipe as a GEC do so for the safety of the water department workers.

A dielectric fitting is placed in the pipe and you can bond the water pipes on the house side of the dielectric fitting.

No electrical connection is allowed on the street side of the dielectric fitting.
