Surface water levels can fluctuate and get dirty. Divert (pipe?) the creek water to a vessel (tank, trough,??), filter if necessary and pump from that.  

Using a creek as a reliable source for pumped water takes some careful thought and design. Your customers may have the experience. 
Might be a good idea to limit your scope of the project to providing the pump and power and let them handle the water to and from the pump. 
Use a low water shut off. 

Good luck.

How well do these pumps do with creek supplied water? The SQF has been my go to submersible well pump forever. Never put one in a creek though.

Wrenches,
Any recommendations for a "high voltage"  Array Direct surface pump. Pumping from a creek. 150' head. Looking for as many gpm's as possible. Large array is fine. If I remember correctly, Dankoff pumps are fairly low voltage. 
Thanks,
Michael
