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

New Hampshire has 453 active non-transient non-community water systems, 18% of the state's 2,450 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 2,374 New Hampshire systems (97%) list groundwater as their primary source.
