You really do have to bond the two of them. The VERY best way is to dig a trench all the way around the building and install a loop of wire, #8 at least (although I use much larger wire after the time and money to dug a trench.) This wire connects the rods and the water system. While a full loop is best yo can simply run a wire to the building's service entrance but I think code requires these wires to be "protected" by any of several methods.
You have to connect the grounds because otherwire you have a problem where indoors there are two different ground potentials. The Earth is just that way, there is or may be a voltage potential between two spots. There WILL be a difference during a lightening strike.
