Default Outdoor outlets: how high from ground?

Hey all. I need to install an outdoor outlet on my garage for a pond
pump. Anyone know what the National Electrical Code says about how
high off the ground an outlet has to be? I'm plainning on installing a
weatherproof cover that covers the plugs at all times.


Thanks for the advice. I'd like to keep the outlet as low as possible
given it's use near a pond, for cosmetic reasons. I think 12 inches
above the ground sounds reasonable. I'll call my building dept too.
Thanks everyone.
