How to connect a WaterUse:Storage to a col

I would like to use OpenStudio (via Energyplyus measures) to model a set of pumps moving water into a storage tank.

mains water --> cooling tower transfer pumpset --> cooling tower water tank --> cooling tower water use

The Cooling Tower object has a field for Water Storage Tank, so I can connect the water system. But, I am struggling to figure out a method to put a set of pumps between the mains water supply and the storage tank.

How can I account for the pumping energy to move cold water from the mains supply to a water tank?
