Polish term or phrase: studnia wodociągowa
"Studnia" (inaczej zwana podobno rząpią -- z tym też zresztą mam zagwozdkę bo wcale nie jestem na 100% pewna czy w tym kontekście to jest sump) będąca elementem (dawnego) systemu wodociągowego, czyli de facto zbiornik wody ''po drodze'' (lub na końcu) rury wodociągowej, z którego ludzie mogą sobie ową wodę pobierać na kształt ''normalnej" studni właśnie.

może sump well po prostu??

waterworks cistern
Explanation:
A cistern (Middle English cisterne, from Latin cisterna, from cista, "box", from Greek κίστη kistê, "basket")[1] is a waterproof receptacle for holding liquids, usually water. Cisterns are often built to catch and store rainwater.[2] Cisterns are distinguished from wells by their waterproof linings. Modern cisterns range in capacity from a few litres to thousands of cubic metres, effectively forming covered reservoirs.

water tap/spigot

If it is a place for collecting water "in the middle" or the "end of the waterpipeline run, then spigot or tap would work fine.
