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

Washington has 400 active non-transient non-community water systems, 8.5% of the state's 4,705 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 4,370 Washington systems (93%) list groundwater as their primary source.
