Obviously plastic piping cannot be bonded or grounded.
What I see when the ESA has done an inspection is that if the gas and water lines are metal there is a bonding wire is in place from the copper water line to the metal gas line usually above the water heater achieving the bonding. My question is if the water service is plastic how/where do you bond the metal gas line. I assume it is as Juan said that that the gas line needs to be bonded, so where do I look to see if that bonding is in place.

Be careful with some of these answers…US and Canadian rules are different in many cases. In Ontario, the gas piping is typically bonded back to the panel when the water piping is plastic.

Note much different than here. The gas line is still bonded regardless of water piping material.
