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. Utah has 84 active non-transient non-community water systems, 7.4% of the state's 1,133 active systems. Purchased surface water means the system buys surface water from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 106 Utah systems (9.4%) list purchased surface water as their primary source.
