Sorta depends on how much power the fountain pump requires. Is it 120v or
220v?
Around here, the "ditch" is supposed to be 18" deep minimum.

If it's a light duty, 120v pump only drawing a few amps, I'd use direct
burial wire, #10 (due to the length) and tie it through an outdoor switch
or timer to a GFI protected outlet.

BTW .... all above is assuming the existing outlet is on a 15 amp breaker.

Thanks. I'll follow the electrician's directions for the ditch. Took
three guys to get the damned fountain in my vehicle, and of course there
was only one at this end to get it out. One of the pieces weighed 265
pounds. No handles.
