If you have an accessible cold water ground, and that cold water system is continuous throughout the premises, you have some hope of the ground being reasonably low resistance. The focus of the NEC is fire safety [ * ] , and their code is a minimum from that point of view. There are better ways of effecting an electrical ground system, but the NEC gives the minimum acceptable system, and most communities have adopted the NEC.
