Clip electric to wall foundations underground?

[George Miles]

Would it be OK to clip the electric feed to our new septic tank along a house wall but a foot underground?

From the corner of the house it will go underground to the new septic tank.

I have pipes to excavate next year, and maybe a french drain to add, so safer methinks to have the elec wire at the wall.

And it would look better than clipping it to a wall.

(Plus I havent built one of the walls yet)

So long as the cable is one suitable for direct burial like SWA, then that would be fine. (I would still stick a cable warning tape above it though)
