At least they put in a drain line

Good point Paul. We have receptacles next to kitchen and bathroom sinks all the time. NFPA seems to think GFCI is all that in necessary to protect the user.
I was willing to exact the most restrictive code avalible (682) and I was spanked for it.
If this is a fountain you only need GFCI and the location of receptacles or other equipment is not specified as long as they are not "underwater".

682 is thought provoking. The equipotenial ground plane under equipment will get you thinking.
The scope can also start conversation since they use the "not limited to" language. Is an underground aquefer a natural body of water? If so a submersible well pump would trigger 682.
Actually just trying to get all those golf course lakes and koi ponds in compliance will take more time than most AHJs want to think about this new rule.
