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.

Wisconsin has 891 active non-transient non-community water systems, 8.1% of the state's 11,056 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 10,978 Wisconsin systems (99%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Hartje Lumber?
EPA lists Hartje Lumber as privately owned. The WI state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 154 of the 199 active systems in Sauk County (77%) are also privately owned.
