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

Schools, factories, office buildings and hospitals with their own supply are typical examples. Virginia has 443 active non-transient non-community water systems, 18% of the state's 2,420 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 2,089 Virginia systems (86%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Mount Olive Church?
EPA lists Mount Olive Church as privately owned. The VA state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 41 of the 53 active systems in Rockingham County (77%) are also privately owned.
Does Mount Olive Church have drinking water violations?
