Default Yet another grounding question

After almost 50 years banging around Ham Radio I finely have my tower up.. I
have each leg of the tower grounded with 2 inch copper strapping , each to
their own ground rod.Those ground rods are all connected together and run
off to another ground rod I will use that as a common ground. All the coax
that come into the house goes to a outside 5x5 box that has poliphaseres
installed in it. The box is brass lined and the brass is lapped to another 2
inch copper strap that goes to the common ground. The station ground is
separate until it gets to the common ground.. With all this said,I have a
questions..
- I 'should' have the power entrance ground run over to the common ground.
But it's over 90 feet away and the house has plastic water pipes.. Does it
make sense to run a copper wire or strap that far? If so, should it be
berried all the way or run exposed. It seems to me the impedance would be so
high in the run, that it would be a waste of copper?
