It sounds like you're either out of NEC, or, you are grounding them
to waterpipe. I believe NEC calls for grounding via earth. You 
could strike some rod into the ground several feet deep, attach
to the pipe with conductive screw+locknut+washer, and a proper gauge
for distance cable. Theoretically, that should solve your problem.

What did you electricians say?
