Grounding question

[asihi]

I have a question about a panel in a newer townhome. The service equipment for this system is located outside of the building in the electric meter cabinet. The panel is located in the garage.

As you can see in the picture, the bond screw is installed and needs to come out. What about the GEC? It's attached to a water line in the basement, near the water meter. Does this have to come off as well?

Thanks for your help.

Yes, if the service disconnect is outside then the bond screw must be removed, the neutrals isolated from ground, and the water bond be brought to the service disconnect.
