250.52(B) Not permitted for use as Grounding Electrodes

New to this section the reinforcing steel that forms a swimming pool shell.  A swimming pools’ steel cage is not to be used as part of our grounding electrode system.  I have heard stories where the inspector required that the contractor run the pool bond back to the ground rod?  This practice a “violation” and could endanger the occupants of the pool with stray currents or ground-fault current introduced on this grounding electrode system.
