Been asked to quote for a CU replacement in an old rectory. First quick look (no time to do any yests yet) shows supply is from 2 separate cables from the other half of the house (house split into 2). Assumed the 10mm earth conductor that is installed on the CU led to an earth electrode but it leads to the water pipe under the kitchen sink. No other earth conductor!!!
Never seen this before. Am I missing something obvious here or are the water pipes acting as the earth electrode? I'm sure it says in the regs that you can't use water pipes as earth electrodes in a domestic installation.
