Schools, factories, office buildings and hospitals with their own supply are typical examples. Wyoming has 91 active non-transient non-community water systems, 12% of the state's 775 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 585 Wyoming systems (75%) list groundwater as their primary source.
