I agree about the possibity of the bond wire, but the wire also attaches at the pump (it is in a crock under the deck) and the voltage is essentially 0 at the bond wire that I can test at the pump.

I tested it today with my voltmeter, I lead in the water and on lead on the concrete deck with a puddle of water....between 5 to 7 volts...

I will try to call the electric company and see what they have to say...
