Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Northwest Indiana Islamic Center is about half of that figure.
What does “non-transient non-community water system” mean?

Indiana has 603 active non-transient non-community water systems, 15% of the state's 3,969 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 3,769 Indiana systems (95%) list groundwater as their primary source.
