out here, thinkin its NEC anyways, you must bond:
gas main, water main , and structure (if steel building) in 1 continuous unbroken line to the panel. this eliminates the static charge from the gas main as well. in this dwelling, afore, the gas main was 6ft away, and the water main is 100ft away..I was told with the gas so close, they could get away with a seperate bond to each.
as for ground rods...here in Maricopa county (AZ) we are required to drive 2 5/8" x 8' ground rods with a 6ft min seperation at the service section (commercial)or panel (residential). you must also bond the water , gas, and steel structure to the panel as well.
They do like to see a ufer bond (#4 solid tied to rebar for 25' in concrete foundation) connected to the panel along with the others.
with the arrid desert here, we have no BOND until it rains...
I will check the NEC..pretty sure most , if not all of that is in there...then of course each municipality can have its own more strict ordinances pertaining to construction installation...
