Not sure what state you are in but as a water treatment plant operator by night I can tell you that putting a pump on the county's line is a bad idea. When you are pulling it will cause a large drop in pressure back the line a ways. Anything under 20psi in the system is considered unsafe in the state of KY and reason for a boil water order.
With the legal and safety stuff out of the way, here's a practical answer to your question.

The deep well pump was rigged up with a timer and a float. It pumped water into a 400 gallon pickup bed style tank in the basement. It ran 1 minute twice an hour, if the tank got full the float would shut it down till some water was out. We had a second pump set up with a bladder tank to pressurize the sysetm in the house with water pulled from the tank.

It wasn't to relive memories of Grampa, Dad or myself out on the back 40 nursing the Farmall pulling too many b
