In an older house without grounded outlets, I grounded 2 outlets (in 2 separate bedrooms) by bonding almost 30 feet from entry of the water line. The piping is all copper, including more than 10 feet outside.
There are 4 old valves and an elbow (looks like all brass) along the run and a T junction near the entry before the shutoff valve, and it has a proper jumper around the water meter and valve. Is there any reason to make a run to the entry point or the bus bar in the subpanel besides for the sake of code?
I have a faucet about 5 ft up on the floor above in a bathroom. That is the only potential problem I can even think about, but I believe current would flow towards the run instead of to the faucet.. Then again I could be wrong, hence why I'm looking for answers.
