Water meter jumper
Can anyone explain the purpose of having the electrical ground water meter jumper?
Is it to provide a continuous ground for all water pipes in the building in case any equipment is grounded to the water pipes?

Re: Water meter jumper
If the water meter is removed, the pipes are still grounded because of the jumper. The cable should be attached to the earth side first and then to the house side.
