When my house was 100 Amp service there was a large black ground wire that jumped to the front and rear of the water meter. I understand that as common practice, something about grounding to the water main.
A couple of years ago i had 200 amp service added and a ground ROD was driven into my front yard, then the black wire went down into the basement and it is connected to the front (inlet side) of the water meter but i just noticed that the "jumper" to the rear (outlet side) of the water meter is now disconnected. Its just hanging there in the air.
Did he leave that jumper off on pupose? Did he forget to reattach the jumper? Or do you not need a jumper now that i have a big rod buried in the ground now? I'm not sure how the rod concept works, but i think i still need the jumper, no?
If this confuses anybody i will add a picture.
