So long as it remains intact and undamaged it is safe.

I have a 6 year old and a 3 year old. There is no such thing as safe in my
yard.

The fun is just beginning!

BV, Ohhh - I've laughed myself silly over the way you express things!

Actually my place is a twin to yours. Only my extension cords
are forest green... so they are harder to see :O)

I am always glad to make someone smile. This year, I have promised the wife
to trench out there and bury the wire in a conduit. So what are the thoughts
of the group on that? I am thinking two circuits and a water line. What do
you think?

Pond pump, UV filter, underwater lights, christmas lights around the
gazebo and an air pump. I've still got a bit of room on one 20 amp
circuit, but I have another one close by. I hate to drag a hose. I
think you planned well.

I wonder if it's safe to put the hose in the same conduit? Time to consult
electrician friend.

May not be code, but I don't see any hazard with pvc water pipe in
proximity of electrical wires that are safe to bury under the ground.
Even if water gets into the end of the conduit it won't matter unless
it gets into the boxes where it can short out wires. I think I would
be more concerned about mice getting into the conduit, than the water
pipe near the electrical cables.

Hal

Your PVC idea will work, that's what I did. I ran my electrical cords
through it and buried it about 8 inches underground. Then I used some
elbows so where it comes out of the ground it is in the shape of an
upside down "J". That way no water can get into it. Of course I am
in Arizona so there is more water in my pond then the entire state
anyway. =)
