although that might solve the grounding problem.. it is a solution no longer allowed by electrical code... the main problem being that most water lines - now-a-days are plastic, or there is a plastic coupler somewhere along the way that breaks the electric ground.... .. even if you get a ground, it might be weak...
this is all well and good until you have a critical grounding problem, for some reason- then what happens is the way to ground for your electricity is through any faucet in your house and you!

your best bet it to drive an actual ground rod (theyre pretty cheap) in your basement 10' deep or so ... then use the grounding techniques as above.... consider using braided wire as well, the larger surface area is better at 'grabbing' and grounding RFI
