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

Montana has 319 active non-transient non-community water systems, 13% of the state's 2,378 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 1,994 Montana systems (84%) list groundwater as their primary source.
