Water from the lake in the winter

It looks like a useful design. My only thought would be that on the pump end of things there ought to be some sort of screen/filter to keep crud out of the water sent up. Even with that, conceivably regular (annual?) maintenance might involve cleaning the diverter valves of any sediment or other contaminant. I wonder if the owner of that railroad track would have any problem with the water line running beneath the rails. What's the story on that?
