If the budget will allow it, a sump can be built at the edge of the reservoir, with a pump house set back from the edge and over the sump pit. Picture two rectangular boxes, the upper one a square and the lower one roughly double the footprint, with the upper covering the half of the lower that's set back. The sump is open to the water supply, which fills the pit to the level of the reservoir, and the pump drafts from that. A reverse cantilever in section view.

The general contractor needs assistance with the design of the structure, possibly from someone on the structural side. Any suggestions I can pass along?
