Home owner looking for code requirements
12 years ago my deck off the living room was built. A hose bib was installed within 1.5 inches of the electrical outlet. The photo shows the remains after it was dismantled. The electrician who replaced this to 2 feet away from the hose bib was surprised someone would install the hose bib so close.
The hose bib was to get water from a large storage container under the deck where rain water was collected. The electrical outlet was to turn on the pump to pump the water out of the container and water my plants.
The electrical outlet rusted out and the electrician said it could be dangerous. I am happy to have it replaced.
My question is was this originally installed against code in 2005 in California? Photo attached.
Thank you
Joan
