If you have to splice the wire to then you'd be required to put the splice in a covered above ground box.
If it does have some conduit, it may simply be a short piece to give support to the riser. You could still move that the 6 - 8 inches too.

A buried splice kit for electrical wires with heat shrink is available thru HD and Lowe’s. Yes a simple sprinkler valve control box round to place over splice would be option to locate location if needed. Power Companies have buried cable splices for repairs section are not replaced and don’t place repair boxes.
