the underground Pump Room of our decorative fountains does not have an automatic submersible pump to de-water the underground pump room in the event of leakages from piping or adjacent water tank. Since there is electrical power and control panel in this underground installation, it could pose an electrical hazard due to flooding. I am searching for precise code requirements and practices of the trade for such systems, and whether the submersible pump system is a mandatory requirement and would appreciate feedback about this point.
