How does Florida State Fire College compare with other water systems in Marion County?

Across Florida, the 5,197 active systems average 4,345 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Florida State Fire College is about half of that figure.
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. Schools, factories, office buildings and hospitals with their own supply are typical examples. Florida has 780 active non-transient non-community water systems, 15% of the state's 5,197 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 4,996 Florida systems (96%) list groundwater as their primary source.
