Hi all,

I understand the concept of earthing a property. However, can someone tell me what's been done in the attached pics? Specifically;

1. Is this just a way to attatch the earth wire to the ground (via the old water outlet)?

2. Could I remove the old water pipe and re-attach the earth wire direct to the earth pole, or, is there a specific reason for going via the old water pipe. I ask, because it looks like they have cut the old pipe (ground level).

FYI, while the earth pole looks as if it meets the old water pipe at bottom, it actually passes behind it and into the ground.

Thanks,
