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

North Carolina has 311 active non-transient non-community water systems, 6.1% of the state's 5,087 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 4,566 North Carolina systems (90%) list groundwater as their primary source.
