Drilling under road into lake

Hi all!! Looking at using lake water as primary watersource for multiple homes our 100 acre property. Plan to drill under the road and into the lake, set some 10' HDPE casing and then run multiple lines, each of them with their own water pump and power supply, so that they can be run to multiple homes on our land. A contractor recommended 15gpm pumps but is reluctant to share details / model / brand names. Essentially each one of these pumps will be submerged in the lake and attached to it's own line. The furthest house will be approx 1200' with 130' elevation change...I'm not sure how much HP will be required, guessing 1-1.5hp? Does anyone have any input on what a good brand / model / type of pump would be for this?

Thanks!
