An owner has a permanent fountain at his residence. Its 30 years old and has 2 existing receptacles beside it. 1 receptacle is actually mounted on the fountain and the 2nd is 2 1/2' away. The receptacle mounted on the fountain supplies a sump pump and the 2nd recep supplies low voltage lighting. I want to do away with the LV lighting receptacle and blank it off and totally do away with the recep mounted on the fountain. I want to move this one 5' away and install a GFCI with an in use cover to supply power to the cord and plug connected sump pump. Does this satisfy the NEC as far as fountains? I tried to look it up in 680.50 but did not see the 5' rule anywhere. Thank you.
