Actually, I always wondered why they went _up_ the hill to get to the well. Wouldn't it be easier to dig a well at the bottom of the hill?

Maybe the lake was ontop of the hill?

You can either spring for an integrated system like this:

or you could fork over a few bucks to me and I could design you a better one that actually takes into account your specific situation and needs. You may have difficulty finding a small centrifugal pump that will fulfill your needs if you use a restrictive filter (too much head).

Also, you may want to ensure that your water utility won't mind you sucking out of their system. Sometimes the drop in pressure can cause problems for them. They may require a low pressure cutoff on your booster pump.

This is a common problem with high-rise buildings. Following is a search of google.com for the words...

"high-rise" water pump system
