Consider something simpler made from just switches. From each switch lever, suspend a float on a fixed length thread/light chain. When the water is high enough, the float releases the switch. When water is too low, the weight of the float activates the switch. [![enter image description here][1]][1] If you use two pole switches, you can organise your indicators completely independently of your pump lockout. You can get switches which are okay for mains. Or if you want to keep them completely isolated, you could use a relay.
