Grounding with Water Line Replacement

[bubblegummom]

We need to have a new water line put in from the meter in the parking strip to the house. We've recently had a new electrical panel put in and the electricians pounded two grounding rods into the ground outside our house. Because of this, will the house be just as well grounded if we get plastic pipe as if we get metal?

Hmmm, I submitted an answer to your question about two hrs ago. I guess it didn't go through. No, your don't have to do anything. The driven grounds rods were necessary IF the regular water pipe ground was disconnected or compromised. In your case they WILL be the grounding electrode[s]

Thank you HayZee518! You've come through for me a lot of times now. The joys of home ownership!
