Well there are crappy grounds, and then there are crappy grounds
(couldn't resist)!   But seriously, most household waste water pipes
these days are PVC.  Not sure what they are under the streets, but it's
not clear that they'd be metallic.  Cold water supply pipes are much
more likely to connect to a ground-worthy buried metal pipe.
