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. Ohio has 544 active non-transient non-community water systems, 14% of the state's 3,854 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 3,446 Ohio systems (89%) list groundwater as their primary source.
