Hi Ross...


low power coils ( 30-60mA) can use the water line as a ground ONLY if no
other ground system is available   if the power range increases into the
middle to upper range  I wouldnt use a water line for a ground 

maybe you can devise a way to leave the rod in place but remove the
strap/wire from the rod when you are finished coiling 

that way you get a great ground  and your mom still has a pleasant
looking garden :)
