If you have a pump problem in the winter that submersible can't be accessed and you will be without water. You must be on the South side of Meredith bay. Why not drill a well lakeside?
I would not want the pump in the lake. One year our foot value tipped over in the winter and we had to have divers go right it. With the pump out there I think you would be asking for more trouble. We had a well but it made everything brown. Was it iron oxide? Anyway, in the emergency, we stuck a pipe in the water until we could get another well drilled and I fell in love with lake water. Everything was so clean and soft, I would never want anything else. This was in 1985 and I still love it. We do have all the filters and uv light.
