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

Arkansas has 29 active non-transient non-community water systems, 3.4% of the state's 853 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 461 Arkansas systems (54%) list groundwater as their primary source.
