250.104(A)(1) requires the bonding jumper to a metal water pipe in single occupancy building to be sized according to table 250.66...
If the building were to be fed with service entrance conductors, lets say 500MCM copper, then the bonding jumper would be required to be 1/0 copper...
Now, if this building were to have a plastic water pipe feeding in from the street and the only electrode for the building were a couple of ground rods, which are allowed to have a maximum of #6 copper to these electrodes...
Then, what is the purpose of having the 1/0 bonding jumper to the water piping system?
