Across Idaho, the 1,961 active systems average 899 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Deruyters Housing is well below that figure.
What does “non-transient non-community water system” mean?

Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 1,861 Idaho systems (95%) list groundwater as their primary source.
