How does Nielsen Ford compare with other water systems in Sussex County?

Across New Jersey, the 3,496 active systems average 2,750 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Nielsen Ford is well below that figure.
What does “non-transient non-community water system” mean?
A non-transient non-community water system regularly serves at least 25 of the same people for more than six months a year, but not where they live. Schools, factories, office buildings and hospitals with their own supply are typical examples. New Jersey has 637 active non-transient non-community water systems, 18% of the state's 3,496 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 3,313 New Jersey systems (95%) list groundwater as their primary source.
