Recommended for you

assume you mean potable water tank or reservoir

you don't need a bell mouth, plain pipe inlet is fine
you always need to ventilate a water reservoir but cover it so rain, dirt and birds can't get in
of course a level gauge indicates the water level
a float valve can signal a pump to shut off to avoid overfilling a reservoir
not sure what a "hooper" is
 
Thank u cvg. You are right it is potable water, but what i want to know is where to place my level guage, I'm not sure but I think it is better to locate it at the outlet connected by tee, the one that say 'vent pipe with cowl' might not be for air vent as there indicated 'DN 150 uPVC' for air vent on the reservoir, hooper might be for lifting chlorine bags as the dis-infection building is above the reservoir; I agree with the bell mouth but it is mentioned in the agreement
 
Thank you very much bimr keep in touch.
 
You may place a level gauge anywhere, but it should be convenient to access, be able to measure the operating range, and be protected from the water and weather. See the links above.
