An approved service entrance switch or breaker shall be installed for each service meter, and located on the load side of the meter; service switch or breaker may be located inside or outside the structure provided it meets the requirements of the power serving agency, but shall be located at the nearest readily accessible and practicable point to where the service conductors enter the structure. SECTION 8317. Overcurrent Protection. Section 240-16 is hereby amended by adding subsection (d) to read as follows: (d) Branch Circuit protective devices shall be installed in and for each occupancy. Nothing contained in this Code shall be deemed or construed to permit the installation of any electrical device outlet or circuit in any occupancy, the control of or the protection of which is not accessible to th~occupant at all times, except remodeled existing occupancies is changed to a different classification as defined by "Table of Groups of Occupancy", then protective devices may be located at one central point. No parts of any circuit shall supply electrical energy to more than one (1) occupancy. SECTION 8318. Groundinq. Section 250-112 is hereby amended to read as follows: 250-112. To Electrode. The grounding connection to the elec- trode shall be located as follows: (a) To Water Pipes. System or common grounding conductors shall be attached to a water piping system on the street side of the water meter or on a cold water pipe of adequate current- carrying capacity as near as practicable to the water service entrance to the building. Where the source of the water supply is from a driven well in the basement of the premises, the connection shall be made as near as practicable to the well. The point of attachment shall be accessible. Where the point of attachment is not on the street side of the water meter, the water piping system shall be made electrically continuous by bonding together all parts between the attachment and the street side of the water meter or the pipe entrance which contain insulating sections or are liable to become disconnected, as at meters, valves and service unions. Equipment may be grounded to a grounded cold water pipe near the equipment. (b) Service Ground Clamp. The service ground clamp shall be accessible at all times and shall be accessible without the necessity of crawling in at the time of rough-in inspection. (c) To Other Electrodes. The grounding conductor shall be attached to other electrodes permitted in Sectiona 250-82 and 250-83 at a point which will assure a permanent ground. The point of attachment shall be accessible.
