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

Mississippi has 78 active non-transient non-community water systems, 6.9% of the state's 1,133 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 1,053 Mississippi systems (93%) list groundwater as their primary source.

Does Tyson Foods #1 have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 7 violations for this system; 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in March 2010. The violations listed here began between February 1991 and March 2010. By type: 4 contaminant level above the legal limit and 3 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (7 of them).
