you still need inch and a quarter conduit with three conductors inside it from the weatherhead to meter socket. use an inch and a quarter meter hub and an inch and a quarter pvc adapter. from the bottom of the meter socket you'll need an inch and a quarter male adapter, one locknut and one 1 1/4" plastic bushing. At the panelbox, same an adapter, one locknut and a plastic bushing. no bonds are necessary because the conduit is pvc.

I can just bring my ground rod conductor to the meter neutral.

Yes just like in the other service

No bonding bushings would be required.


Then from the panel neutral/ground buss to the water meter.

exactly like the other waterpipe requirement - unbroken length of #6 bare all the way to the panelbox from the waterpipe coming into the house.
