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

Pennsylvania has 1,026 active non-transient non-community water systems, 14% of the state's 7,217 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 6,632 Pennsylvania systems (92%) list groundwater as their primary source.
