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

Schools, factories, office buildings and hospitals with their own supply are typical examples. 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.
Who owns and regulates Cornerstone Church?
EPA lists Cornerstone Church as privately owned. The NC state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 173 of the 194 active systems in Rowan County (89%) are also privately owned.
Does Cornerstone Church have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2024. The violations listed here began between July 2007 and October 2024.

Resolved means at least one resolving action is on record: the system returned to compliance, the rule no longer applies, or no further action was needed. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. Addressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is covered by formal enforcement.
