How does Stars Early Learning Center compare with other water systems in Yakima County?

Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Stars Early Learning Center is well below that figure.
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. 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.
Who owns and regulates Stars Early Learning Center?
