Keep utility lines well separated
Here, we have an attic with a hooked ground to gas line. Even though it is recommended, it can be extremely problematic. We found a gas leak in this attic for a good customer of mine. Some kind of electrical surge or lightning strike travelled through the cable wire (black cable on the right) and jumped about six inches to get to the gas pipe (yellow line on the left). It blew a hole in the gas pipe. Amazing that it didn’t blow the house up.
A great example of where not to run your water line. Copper water line between two breaker boxes!
