Well this is in the Piedmont of Georgia so the pipe is definitely burried in
1,000' of red clay. :-)

The thing I can't figure out is the copper pipe comes out of the ground
right at the puddle so it should be well grounded but if you use a VOM
between the faucet and a nail stuck into the mud a foot from the base it
reads 25V!
