[R-390] Building Standards

Tisha,

In lieu of bronze, I'd suggest stainless steel.  We don't always think 
of things like chlorine bleach along with ALL the rest of household 
items that go down the drain.  I don't think copper, brass, OR bronze 
will have any *real* longevity.  Let's face it, constant replacement is 
NOT ideal, and the conductivity of stainless is essentially a wash since 
it WILL be in a very conductive fluid.

Another thought.  You have a drain field.  This extra ground can be 
directly to the "tiles".  (Yes, I know they don't use tiles any longer!)
