I measured the current between the cold water pipes and the electrical bond. TWO HUNDRED MILLIAMPS!!! An old abandoned well, inside the basement, with no water in it, was still bonded to the electrical grounded neutral. The new well, outside the building, had never been bonded to the existing electrical service. So actually what you found was voltage from the plumbing to the electrical service ground because the plumbing was not bonded to the electrical ground, rather to the old well casing. I could see that causing a prisoner to get a hint of the electric chair should he happen to be sitting on the crapper and somehow also touched an electrical ground. But how would that have caused electrolysis or corrosion in a stainless steel fixture? What would the path be for the current? -Hal
