[Elecraft] OT- Tower grounding

[W8JH]

I have a new tower and have a grounding question.  My tower is on the west
side of the house.  The service entrance is on the east side of the house
and the house is about 55 feet long.
I understand I should tie together the tower ground rod and the service
ground rod.  The question is about how best to accomplish this with two
options apparent to me.
1. Run a ground wire into the house and connect to the water pipes.  This is
about a 10 foot run to the water pipes which are tied to the service
entrance ground at the other end of the house.
2. Bury a wire around the house to tie the two together.  This would be
about a 75 foot run.

Asking the collective wisdom here- option 1 or option 2?
