At that <br /> time I brought up the point to }he inspector representi��g the architects <br /> and the electrical engineer that, when the water syster,� was instaJ.le:'. e=.;,�, <br />' electrical service should be bonded to the water mair.s. Tiie wa{F�r <br /> maine should also 6e tied b�ck to a common ground fcr the purpose ef' <br /> attemptinp to reduce to a minimum the difference in poteniial �etwe�n <br /> services� grounds and wa{er pipes. I wes told at tha{ {ime ii was tu <br /> be done by the °ori of cverett. 7a my knowledge this has not been <br /> done and any research firm v.rould request !his as one oi the, requirem�n'ts <br /> to reJuce electrolysis, <br /> At the {ime of construction� I wrote the Port of' �ea{tle f'or a copy �r <br /> e published instruction on electrolysis for their boat owners but n,ver <br /> received one. I also called their port engineer and he gave me a <br /> summ�ry somewh�t ?ike the remarlc in the letter by James Norton in {hnt <br /> afier 25 �ears of study fhey still do not have all the �ns��-ers. One oi <br /> the things he did mention was the use of th��se che�.c ;e1,=n;c;;; L,;tir�y <br />� char�ers by the boat ovmers. <br /> i <br /> � �vould auggest doin� the grounding first and attempt cc ���ve i^e f.�,>=� <br /> I� ovrners re£rain from using this 4ype of ch;ar�er beforc �oing inio <br /> expensive research. If this does not show e grea{ reduction in elec'�r�i- <br />' ysis� then have some firm make a study. <br /> I � feel this is a joint problem �etween boat owners and tFe Port srier,=- all <br /> concerned should be interested in trying all reasonable solutions. <br /> If I c�n ba of' any furiher assist�nce, ple�,e call me. <br />: �incere!y � <br /> L, J, DouPhertv <br /> Ele:lrir;� Inr:peclor <br />
