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

South Dakota has 16 active non-transient non-community water systems, 2.3% of the state's 699 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 431 South Dakota systems (62%) list groundwater as their primary source.
