What does “non-transient non-community water system” mean?

A non-transient non-community water system regularly serves at least 25 of the same people for more than six months a year, but not where they live.

Alaska has 227 active non-transient non-community water systems, 17% of the state's 1,322 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 1,054 Alaska systems (80%) list groundwater as their primary source.

The AK state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 158 of the 205 active systems in Kenai Peninsula Borough County (77%) are also privately owned.
