Re: I am sure city codes vary. Mine would not allow the use of the water line.

Your city likely does not allow grounding to the incoming water line for the same reason the NEC now requires a ground rod in addition to the water line connection. The concern is that with today's prevalent use of PVC pipe and water meters with plastic couplings, there is always the chance that continuity between the incoming household water line and city water main could be broken, leaving the home's electrical supply inadequately grounded.
